Whooping cough (pertussis) is a highly infectious bacterial chest infection that is especially dangerous for young babies. This course explains how it spreads, how to recognise it, when to get urgent help, how long people should stay away from school or work, and how vaccination in pregnancy and childhood protects babies.
