Whooping cough vaccination for pregnant women

(30-03-2018)
Whooping cough (pertussis) can be a serious illness for young babies. To protect young babies against whooping cough, pregnant women can have themselves vaccinated. In 2015 the Health Council advised vaccination of pregnant women against whooping cough, but this has not been implemented yet. However, we have started already to actively inform clients about the possibility of the vaccination. You can get the vaccin through your GP of through the GGD (Municipal Health Service).
