😷🦠 Whooping Cough Outbreak - Save Your Baby's Life! #EndWhoopingCough I am proud to contribute to the first clinician creator led public health campaign in the UK. Whooping cough is also known as pertussis or the "100 day cough" because of the long-lasting cough. It is very contagious. Sadly, young babies are most at risk - at least 8 babies in the UK have already died this year from it. Vaccination is essential to eradicate whooping cough. Babies receive their first vaccines at 8 weeks old. So pregnant mothers should be vaccinated between 16-32 weeks to protect their newborn baby in their first few weeks. #DoctorAzmain #NHS #WhoopingCough #pertussis #HundredDayCough #100daycough
