Hi all,

Just wondering when I should be getting the whooping cough? I'm 26+6 and have a read a bit on here about people getting it but I've got no idea!! Thanks x

Going by your username though I don’t know if they have different guidance in Australia

Anytime now. I just had to call the GP surgery and book it :)

The guidance us now any time from 16 weeks but preferably before 32.

Definitely before 32 weeks, I had mine done just after the 28 week appointment.

I was told to book mine after 20 weeks. I had it about a week ago. I'm 24 weeks now. The midwife didn't book it for me I had to call the doctors and book it myself.

I had mine at 30 weeks 😊
