A key vaccine that helps protect your baby against three serious diseases even before delivery.
Protects against:
✓ Pertussis (Whooping Cough) — especially dangerous for newborns
✓ Tetanus — causes severe muscle spasms and can be life-threatening
✓ Diphtheria — can affect breathing and damage vital organs
When to get it:
Between 27–36 weeks of pregnancy (best between 28–32 weeks)
Why it matters:
Newborn babies cannot receive their first pertussis vaccine until around 6 weeks of age. This vaccine provides crucial early protection during that vulnerable window.
Important: Recommended in every pregnancy, regardless of previous vaccinations.
Protect your baby before their first breath.
