How often do you need to get a whooping cough shot to avoid it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pertussis: There is high pertussis vaccine coverage for children nationwide. However, protection from the childhood vaccine decreases over time. Preteens, teens and adults need to be revaccinated, even if they were completely vaccinated as children.
