Delighted to share our fourth paper from a really rewarding collaboration bringing together biostatisticians, epidemiologists, applied physiologists and clinical and nursing experts in Geriatric Medicine and Infection Control.

Whooping cough vaccination in pregnancy The whooping cough vaccination is recommended for all pregnant women, ideally at 20 weeks pregnant. Find out how this vaccine may help protect your baby's health.
