First of all, there are no great epidemics of whooping cough at present, so people do not worry about it very much, although the disease does still exist. And secondly, many people believe that vaccines are dangerous, and they would rather take their chances with whooping cough.

Can an adult be vaccinated for Whooping cough?

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.
