Whooping Cough Epidemic

Currently, in California there is an epidemic of Pertussis, also known as Whooping Cough. Whooping cough is a bacterial infection that can cause severe coughing fits that make it difficult to breathe.

The Santa Clara County Public Health Department has reported a spike in pertussis cases during the month of July. Since January 1, there have been 97 whooping cough cases reported in Santa Clara County, with more than half of those occurring in the month of July. Infants can be vaccinated starting at 2 months old, then again at 4 and 6 months. Until all three shots are completed, infants are not fully protected. Please read the News Advisory below for more information on Whooping Cough.
