Check out this great article on whooping cough and the vaccine used against it.
Our family dealt with whooping cough in the fall of '03. My fully vaccinated daughter came down with it and then passed it on to her siblings, the youngest of which was just under 4 mos old and 10 lbs. The baby spent one week in the PICU (she was never left alone) at my request for monitoring, but recovered completely.
