Vaccines

I spoke to my midwife about vaccines and my 16 week appointment. She said I could book my whooping cough vaccine in now (I have it booked for when I'll be about 21 weeks) and that the RSV vaccine is later on. I don't think you'll be behind yet but worth asking how it works at your next appointment!

I had my vaccination when i was 16 weeks. Now i am 20 th week . When you start 16 th week your midwife ask you to book for whooping cough vaccination in your local GB . They will put vaccination for you.

My whooping couch was given at my 16 week appointment and my RSV will be given at my 28 week appointment, but that's only because my birthing center now has access to them. Previously in my area, you had to book them in with the hospital or attend a drop in, so long as you were past the minimum reccomended weeks you could go at any time. So you'll need to look at the information for how it's specifically handled in your area.

I booked my whooping cough after my 16 week appt and expect RSV after 28 weeks

I didn't have them with my last pregnant and won't this time, but the midwife reminded me last appointment which was around 16 weeks x

Thank you so much everyone - it’s so hard to know what to do because I know there’s a lot of conflicting opinions, especially with the RSV vaccine and as this is my first pregnancy it can be a bit overwhelming so thank you so much for your thoughts!
