Abstract
Highlights
•Two hospitals implemented booster vaccination programmes in response to suspected staff exposure to pertussis.
•Perceived vulnerability of patients was the single most important reason for healthcare workers accepting vaccination.
•Pertussis vaccine uptake was high among those who had not received influenza vaccination the previous year.
•Self-reported adverse effect profile following vaccination was reassuring.
•Fourteen percent of staff reported a recent illness compatible with pertussis but had not notified occupational health.
