    I got my mum to have booster as staying with us, but apart from that as normal - with having a two year old who is in daycare 2 days a week, figured she was more likely to bring germs home than us pick up outside and would have gone crazy staying at home.

    ETA: Our council was offering Whooping Cough vaccination from 6 weeks old instead of 8 weeks because of the concern about the outbreak, and the MCHN was pushing that. I didn't end up getting it done early but it was an option.
