Prevention
Immunisation with a dTpa-containing (diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis) vaccine is the best way to reduce the risk of whooping cough in children. The combination vaccine, recommended as part of routine childhood immunisation, is free on the National Immunisation Program Schedule. Doses of vaccine are given at two, four and six months of age, with booster doses at four years and 10-15 years. To receive a child pertussis immunisation, visit your local doctor or immunisation provider. It is important to note that although the vaccine is provided at no cost, a consultation fee may apply.
In addition, The Australian Immunisation Handbook – 10th edition recommends a single booster dose of adult formulation pertussis vaccine (dTpa) for all adults planning a pregnancy, for both parents as soon as possible after delivery of an infant, and for grandparents and other carers of young children. Alternatively, dTpa can be given to women during the third trimester of pregnancy. |
