You might think whooping cough (pertussis) is something only kids get โ€” but thatโ€™s not the case.

Health experts are seeing an increase in cases, and older adults can actually become quite unwell, especially if they have underlying health conditions.

What many people donโ€™t realise:
โ€ข Protection from past vaccines wears off over time
โ€ข Adults can catch and spread it โ€” often without the classic โ€œwhoopโ€
โ€ข Vaccination rates in adults are currently low

๐Ÿ’‰ So what should you do?
If youโ€™re over 50 โ€” or itโ€™s been a while since your last tetanus booster โ€” itโ€™s worth checking if youโ€™re due for a whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine.

Current advice is a booster every 10 years for older adults.

โœ”๏ธ Helps protect you
โœ”๏ธ Helps protect vulnerable people around you (like babies and older family members)

If youโ€™re unsure, have a quick chat with our team โ€” we can check your records and guide you.

We sometimes ask this even if you didnโ€™t come in to talk about pregnancy.

Thatโ€™s because planning ahead matters more than most people realise.

Some medications need adjusting before conception.
Some supplements, like folate, work best when started early.
Some conditions are safer to stabilise first.

Itโ€™s not an assumption.
Itโ€™s prevention.

A little planning now can make a big difference later.

We know it can feel random when we bring this up.

But screening is one of the most powerful tools in medicine.

Cervical screening.
Bowel screening.
Skin checks.
Breast checks.
Blood pressure.

Most serious conditions are far easier to treat when found early.

We donโ€™t ask to nag.
We ask because prevention works.

Life gets busy.

Appointments get pushed.
Symptoms get ignored.
โ€œLaterโ€ turns into months.

But your health isnโ€™t something to squeeze in when thereโ€™s time.
Itโ€™s worth making time for.
