whooping cough vaccine
Pertussis prevention shot
A vaccine that protects against pertussis, a highly contagious bacterial respiratory infection characterized by severe coughing fits that produce a distinctive "whoop" sound when gasping for breath.
The vaccine is typically combined with diphtheria and tetanus vaccines (DTaP for children, Tdap for adolescents and adults): The pediatrician recommended the whooping cough vaccine at two months.
