Brief description Whooping cough continues to be common in Australia. Young babies, who have little or no protection to the infection, are often hospitalised and can die. Adults generally experience milder symptoms which often go undiagnosed and can pass on whooping cough to babies, particularly within the home. To reduce this risk by 70%, parents can receive a booster vaccination for whooping cough. Offering this on the postnatal ward will help remove barriers and provide a cocoon of protection for the newborn.
