If you are unsure how to administer a RAT test, please watch the video below.

Each brand is different and we encourage everyone to read the instructions provided with the kit.

WHOOPING COUGH (PERTUSSIS)

With active cases of whooping cough in our communities, it is important to ensure we are up to date with vaccinations.

Immunisation is free and is given when the baby is 6 weeks, 3 months and 5 months old, with childhood boosters at 4 years and 11 years old.

The best start for baby's immunity is during pregnancy. Close family members can also be vaccinated to help protect babies.
