Best practice for the communication of perinatal booster recommendations and optimisation of the cocooning strategy.

百日咳在澳大利亚仍然很常见。年幼的婴儿很少或根本没有对感染的保护，经常住院并可能死亡。成年人的百日咳症状通常较轻，但往往无法确诊，并可能将百日咳传染给婴儿，尤其是在家里。为了将这种风险降低70%，父母可以接种百日咳强化疫苗。在产后病房提供这将有助于消除障碍，为新生儿提供一个保护茧。

Whooping cough continues to be common in Australia. Young babies, who have little or no protection to the infection, are often hospitalised and can die. Adults generally experience milder symptoms which often go undiagnosed and can pass on whooping cough to babies, particularly within the home. To reduce this risk by 70%, parents can receive a booster vaccination for whooping cough. Offering this on the postnatal ward will help remove barriers and provide a cocoon of protection for the newborn.
