I gave birth to DD in Sept 2012 which was at the height of the whooping cough epidemic. Locally, 2 babies under 8 weeks were in ICU with whooping cough.
I was offered, and accepted, the whooping cough vaccination 3 weeks post birth. This was late Sept 2012.
I am due DC2 in Aug 2014. This is 23 months after I had the whooping cough vaccination. Do I need to have it again?
I have asked at the hospital, I have asked my midwife and I have asked my GP. No- one seems to know. I am waiting on the Practice Nurse at my GP Surgery getting back to me as the hospital suggested she might know.
What do you think?
