Hello Everyone,
Just wondering if anyone else has heard that Midwives should have their Pertussis vaccination every 5 years as opposed to every 10 years?
There has been some talk about this but I can’t find any information to back it up.Thanks
Regards

Hello Chris, not sure that vaccination is recommended every 10 years. The Australian Immunisation handbook recommends that HCW have a booster if 10 years have elapsed since a previous dose (rather than every 10 years). Have not heard anything has changed re this (unless Victoria has made changes to recommendations – the Immunisation Brach will know).
