Protect your pēpi from whooping cough

Protecting your tamariki from whooping cough starts during pregnancy.

By getting immunised when you are pregnant, you will protect your pēpi until they can have their first immunisations when they are 6 weeks old. This is because your immunity passes to your baby through the placenta.
