Pertussis Vaccination from 28 weeks in Pregnancy

Vaccination against Pertussis using Repevax continues to be recommended for women between the 28th and 32nd week of pregnancy (although it can be given beyond the 32nd week if a woman misses out during the recommended period).

It has been a highly successful campaign with the number of cases of babies under three months dropping dramatically since the introduction of vaccination for pregnant women.
