Avoid the sun between 11 am & 3pm

Cover up with suitable clothing and sunglasses

Use a high factor sunscreen (At least factor 30)

Take extra care with children

Whooping cough (pertussis) is a bacterial infection of the lungs and breathing tubes.

Babies under 6 months old with whooping cough have an increased chance of having problems such as dehydration, breathing difficulties, pneumonia & seizures (fits).

The whooping cough vaccine is routinely given as part of the:

6-in-1 vaccine – for babies at 8, 12 and 16 weeks

4-in-1 pre-school booster – for children aged 3 years 4 months

If you're pregnant you should also have the    whooping cough vaccine – ideally between 16 and 32 weeks.
