Yes, you can still get things you have been vaccinated for.
is he still awake? if you ring up nurse on call and he makes the noise, they should be able to tell you over the phone if its the classic whooping cough, or even croup - could it be croup do you think?
I would just go to the doctor and insist someone sees him, its not something you want to mess around with

its more likely croup - but if he is still awake ane coghing you could call the nurse and ask them to listen to it.
the vaccination is only 70% effective.

Whooping cough usually starts with a cold and fever before the cough comes on. Did he have that? Good luck, hope it is not w.c. xoxo

yes wooping cough usually starts with a cold and fever.. so runny nose.. etc. The cough is like a bark.
How is he this morning??
Also sounds more like croup to me too.

We've been to the Dr and he has some congestion on his right lower lung. He has given him a strong course of ab for 10 days and see is that works. He couldnt say for sure if it is whooping cough but he thought it unlikely as he has been vaccinated and said it was most likely to be bronchitis.
