Get the cough one! I didn’t know the one you get as a kid wears off. Very unpleasant lesson.

Same. Misery for months. Not sure if throwing up buckets of frothy sputum for a week or 2 months of cough tickle was worse.

I had six months of cough until you vomit. And my gag reflex has never recovered. Have trouble eating yoghurt!

You should get it every 10 years, for both it and the tetanus it is paired with. I've been sent for additional boosters after injuries with tetanus risk, so apparently the more the merrier.
