Maternal vaccinations – Whooping cough

Getting a safe and free whooping cough vaccine between 20 and 32 weeks of pregnancy helps protect bubbas from whooping cough while they're still too young to get vaccinated themselves. 

Whooping cough is an infection that makes it hard to breathe with severe coughing fits. It can be really serious for babies, sometimes causing brain damage, pneumonia and even death, so vaccination is really important. 

Yarn to your midwife or health worker about getting your free maternal vaccinations for influenza, whooping cough and RSV. And remember it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3 to protect bub in pregnancy.
