Newborn Protection
Protection against whooping cough, a highly contagious bacterial infection affecting the lungs and airways.
Whooping cough (pertussis) is a bacterial infection caused by Bordetella pertussis that leads to severe coughing fits which can last for weeks or months and may be serious in infants.
It spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, making it highly contagious in close-contact environments.
Symptoms include severe coughing fits, breathing difficulty, vomiting after coughing, exhaustion, and a characteristic “whooping” sound during inhalation.
Whooping cough occurs worldwide, with higher risk in unvaccinated populations and increased danger for infants and young children.
Vaccination is the most effective protection, especially for pregnant women and caregivers, helping reduce transmission and protect newborn babies.
