Pertussis (whooping-cough) Vaccine for Adults

Travellers going to Australia to visit relatives with young babies are being asked to get immunised against pertussis before they travel.

There is no pertussis-only vaccine available in the UK – the only vaccine containing pertussis is Repevax® which is a combined vaccine against tetanus/diphtheria/polio/pertussis.

GP surgeries cannot provide this free of charge to adult travelers, but it is available through travel clinics such as the Globe Travel Health Centre.
