Yes, adults can be vaccinated for whooping cough (pertussis). The vaccine is typically administered as part of the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) booster shot, which is recommended for adults, especially those who are in close contact with infants or have not received a booster in the last 10 years. Vaccination helps protect both the individual and those around them, particularly vulnerable populations.
