Can I still get whooping cough, RSV or flu when I am vaccinated?

Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent severe illness from whooping cough, RSV and flu. No vaccine is 100% effective, so it is still important to know the signs and symptoms of these diseases, even if you are vaccinated. For more information about these vaccines, visit:
