FILE - In this Thursday, May 3, 2012 file photo, nurses Fatima Guillen, left, and Fran Wendt, right, give Kimberly Magdeleno, 4, a whooping cough booster shot, as she is held by her mother, Claudia Solorio at a health clinic in Tacoma, Wash.

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012 found that the protective effect weakens dramatically soon after a youngster gets the last of the five recommended shots around age 6.
