If you are going to spending some time around a newborn, it is highly recommended you get a whooping cough vaccination at least every five years.
You many also benefit if you have asthma or another lung condition, or have a lowered immune system.
We use Adacel and Boostrix, these contain pertussis (whooping cough) plus diptheria and tetanus (DTPA).
It takes your immune system two weeks to make enough antibodies, so please don’t leave it until baby is here.
Price: $45 (free if you are pregnant, the ideal time is at 28 weeks).
