(should be given at least 2 weeks before contact)

For adults without contact with infants <age 6 months. The recommendation is for DTPa at age 50 years or greater. A single booster.

I had a pertussis booster after my most recent grandchild was born five years ago, in line with this recommendation.

When my first daughter was born 3 years ago there was a whooping cough outbreak and the obstetrician was very blunt. Don't let anyone near her if they haven't had a recent vaccination. My 75 year mother had a shot before visiting. She had no issues in doing so. Some people suggested we were paranoid but it kills infants.

Useful summary information here:
Identify, Protect, Prevent - Whooping Cough
You should get vaccinated and stay home.

When my Kids were going through the vaccination routine, the Doctors would look up my record, then stick any needle they could find into me just to show the Kids how painless it is. :eek:

I wouldn't miss it for quids. I'm sure all those shots were beneficial anyway. :)

The Navigator is a vaccination nurse, so she has some techniques to get kids to sit still long enough to be vaccinated. Not an easy job.

Were those shots pre or post Landrover ownership?
