Whooping Cough Outbreak

Te mare tekekō Whooping cough (pertussis)

Whooping cough is a serious infection that causes a long coughing illness. It spreads easily between people.

Whooping cough can be very serious for pēpi, tamariki and older adults.

 

Whooping cough is not under control in Aotearoa New Zealand, and when outbreaks occur, it affects thousands of people.

Immunisation is the best way to protect you and your whānau from whooping cough.

Young pēpi can get the sickest from whooping cough. The best way to protect them is to get immunised during pregnancy.

Find out about the vaccines, who can be immunised and when to get immunised.
