Whooping Cough (Pertussis) 
Pregnant women are advised to have vaccination against whooping cough between 28-38 weeks of pregnancy. The UK currently has a large outbreak, and newborn babies have the highest risk of complications. Vaccination during the last 3 months of pregnancy provides increased immunity to your baby. Please make an appointment with the nurse.
