Whether your partner, friend, sibling or child is expecting their first or fifth baby, if you expect to spend time with the newborn before they complete their whooping cough vaccinations, it's important to have your booster. Why is a whooping cough booster important? * Whooping cough (pertussis) is a very contagious bacterial infection and outbreaks spread easily in families, daycares and kindergartens Not every infected person is symptomatic, meaning you can pass on the infection without knowing you have it * Babies under six months old are the most at-risk group * Babies’ symptoms can evolve very quickly and develop into complications * These complications can be very serious, including difficulty breathing and pneumonia Asingle booster provides protection The bottom line is: While for adults, whooping cough is unpleasant, for babies it can be life threatening. Let's protect those most at risk. If you are expecting a baby or will be spending time with a newborn, book your whooping cough booster. It's the best gift you can give the little one.
