A member asked:
Do you only need one pertussis vaccine for the course of your life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Every 10 years: Current acip and cdc recommendation is every 10 years after the last booster at 4-6 year-old. However, if you are pregnant, then, it will be with every pregnancy no matter what the interval between each pregnancy is.
