Whooping cough
Vaccinations are available for purchase by parents, grandparents and any adult living in the same house as an infant 6 months old or younger at council's immunisation clinics.
Adults who have not been vaccinated in the last 10 years are at risk of contracting and spreading the disease.
Whooping Cough is a potentially fatal illness that is in epidemic proportions in our region at the moment. Australian Government figures showed that in July last year, Queensland had 687 reported cases of whooping cough, the highest of all states in the country.
With the rate of Whooping Cough cases steadily rising throughout South East Queensland, especially in children under 6 months of age, it is essential to protect your child from this preventable disease.
Please refer to the immunisation calendar (above) for dates and locations of clinics.
