My daughter had the immunisation at her school in Perth during December(all Year 11 and 12 students were offered it as apparently teenagers are at risk), and contracted whooping cough about two weeks later! The doctor swears there is no connection, and said the immunisation doesn't prevent you getting it, but does reduce the severity. My daughter has had a cough on and off ever since.
