Make sure you and your baby are protected
Pregnant women need to have their whooping cough vaccination. You can have it at your GP practice from week 16 of your pregnancy. Planned appointments help to keep vulnerable pregnant mums safe from COVID-19.
Vaccination appointments count as an important medical reason to leave your home.
