A woman who is 19 weeks pregnant with her second child asks what she can do to protect the new baby from whooping cough. Her 2-year-old daughter is fully immunised. She received a pertussis-containing vaccine at 26 weeks in her previous pregnancy, eighteen months ago, and asks whether she needs it again. She has no contraindication to vaccination. The baby's first scheduled pertussis-containing vaccine will not be given until 6 weeks of age. At which one of the following times should she receive a pertussis-containing vaccine?
