1 Vaccination of pregnant women with Tdap is especially important to help protect infants. 2  Pregnant women should get the vaccine late in the second trimester or in the third trimester for each pregancy. 3  All adults age 19 to 64 years need a one-time whooping cough booster vaccine. Adults age 65 years and older need a one-time whooping cough booster if they will have close contact with infants younger than 12 months. 2  If not already vaccinated, pregnant women should receive the booster vaccine late in the second trimester or during the third trimester, during each pregnancy.
Babies do not get the whooping cough vaccine at birth. In fact, there are currently no whooping cough vaccines licensed or recommended for newborns. Several studies found that a dose of the whooping cough vaccine at birth is safe, but a newbornâs immune system is not able to create antibodies until he is 2 months old. Get the whooping cough vaccine while you are pregnant. 2  Encourage those around your baby to be up-to-date with their whooping cough vaccine. 3  Have your baby get DTaP vaccines on time according to CDC's immunization schedule [2 pages] starting at 2 months.
