What is whooping cough?

Whooping cough is a respiratory infection that can be very serious for infants and frail people.

It causes a persistent cough, difficulty in breathing and can last for several weeks.

The good news is that prevention is possible!

• Vaccination remains the most effective means of protecting babies and adults.
• Antibiotics can limit contagion if administered promptly.
• Wearing a mask helps reduce transmission of the virus.

New: vaccination during pregnancy is now recommended to protect babies from birth!
