WHY VACCINATE

The Whooping Cough Vaccine

One injection — especially important during pregnancy and around newborns

Doctor consulting a pregnant patient — the whooping cough vaccine is recommended in every pregnancy
Passes Protection to Your Baby

A Simple Way to Protect the Whole Family

Whooping cough is a highly contagious bacterial infection causing violent, uncontrollable coughing fits that can last 10 to 12 weeks or more. A single injection provides protection, though this decreases over time — boosters are recommended roughly every 10 years for adults. It's safe to have during every pregnancy, ideally between 16 and 32 weeks, and passes protective antibodies to your baby in the weeks before their own vaccination at 8 weeks old.

  • Single Injection

    Just one dose — no follow-up appointment needed for most adults.

  • Recommended in Every Pregnancy

    Ideally given between 16 and 32 weeks, to pass protection to your baby before birth.

  • Protects Those Around Newborns

    Worth having if you're a carer, grandparent or anyone in regular contact with young babies.

KNOW THE FACTS

What is Whooping Cough?

A highly contagious infection that is especially dangerous for young babies

A newborn baby holding an adult's finger — babies are too young to be vaccinated until 8 weeks

Bacterial Infection

Caused by Bordetella pertussis, spread through respiratory droplets from coughs and sneezes.

Violent Coughing Fits

Characterised by intense coughing spells that can last 10 to 12 weeks or longer.

Riskiest for Babies

Most dangerous for newborns, who aren't old enough for their own vaccine until 8 weeks.

Preventable

A single vaccine dose gives protection and helps stop the infection spreading to vulnerable people.

GOOD TO KNOW

Safe During Every Pregnancy

The whooping cough vaccine is safe to have during every pregnancy, not just your first. Having it again each time ensures your baby gets protective antibodies passed on before they're born.

WHOOPING COUGH FAQs

Common Questions

Whooping cough can be very serious for young babies, who aren't vaccinated themselves until 8 weeks old. Having the vaccine while pregnant passes protective antibodies to your baby, giving them cover in those first vulnerable weeks.

Yes — it's safe and recommended to have the vaccine in every pregnancy, not just your first, so each baby gets the benefit of passed-on antibodies.

Protection decreases over time, so if it's been more than 10 years since your last dose, it's worth having a booster — especially if you're around young babies often.

It's available free on the NHS for pregnant women and as part of the routine childhood schedule. Speak to your GP or midwife about that route — we offer it privately here if you'd rather not wait or it doesn't apply to you.

Most people just get some soreness, redness or swelling at the injection site, and occasionally a mild fever, tiredness or headache for a day or two. Serious reactions are extremely rare.
