Low vaccination rates among pregnant women are putting newborns at risk of whooping cough. To prevent more infant deaths, vaccination rates need to increase significantly.
High vaccination rates in the past protected against whooping cough, but declining rates have led to rising cases. Continued low vaccination rates may result in more severe cases and deaths.
Vaccination during pregnancy helps protect newborns until they can receive their own vaccinations. Both pregnant women and children need higher vaccination rates to prevent the spread of whooping cough.
