Like you, I didn't realise that the Whooping Cough vaccination didn't last forever. Since I teach in a school (ie breeding ground for diseases) I decided to get vaccinated again when I found this out. When I mentioned it to the doctor he told me that I could have an easy blood test to find out which, if any of my various vaccinations were still in force. I did this and ended up having to get re-vaccinated for more than just the Whooping Cough, particularly since we have a lot of overseas students who commute back and forth. Oh, and I also got vaccinated at the same time for pneumonia, which I didn't even realise *could* be immunised against. :-)
