Free Whooping Cough Booster Information

The whooping cough vaccine (Boostrix)  is available free for pregnant women living in the Counties Manukau region from 16 weeks of pregnancy until 38 weeks. It can protect your baby against whooping cough for up to six weeks after they are born.

The Pregnancy Pack (available from your Midwife or GP) contains a Boostrix voucher for you to take to your GP before 38 weeks of pregnancy. It is recommended that you have a Boostrix vaccination during each pregnancy from 16 weeks.
