Whooping Cough Vaccination
This vaccine should be given with
Diptheria Tetanus and Polio vaccine at
3, 5 & 9 months.
Whooping cough is a serious disease
in young children causing a severe and
spasmodic cough which often leads to
pneumonia. Many children are admitted
to hospital with whooping cough and it
causes several deaths each year.
The vaccine has a small risk (about
1 in 100,000) of leading to a form of
brain disorder and is contra-indicated
in some children. Your Health Visitor
or doctor will be able to advise you
about this.
