Protect Your Baby from Whooping Cough! 🍼
Having a baby? Midwives are urging you to get vaccinated against whooping cough during pregnancy. This weekend, it was announced that a baby had died of whooping cough after its mother did not receive the vaccine.
Whooping cough is a serious infection that can cause long bouts of coughing and choking, making it hard to breathe. Vaccination during pregnancy passes immunity to your baby, protecting them until they receive their own vaccination at eight weeks old.
Get vaccinated around the time of your mid-pregnancy scan, usually at 20 weeks, but you can have it from 16 weeks.
Let's protect our little ones! 💙
