As a rule, you need lots of close exposure to catch whooping cough - casual social contact isn't sufficient. If you look at the pattern of whooping cough spread, it generally spreads within households to people who spend many hours in close contact at a time, and rarely spreads throughout the community. It will sometimes spread through school classrooms.

It sounds to me like your exposure will be pretty limited, you should be okay. Avoid anyone from the household next door with flu-like symptoms. If your children are immunised, you might want to check on whether your children are due for boosters.
