Whooping Cough: A Hidden Threat
Did you know school-age kids can carry pertussis (whooping cough) without even knowing it?
Mild symptoms in older kids can easily be mistaken for a cold, but they can unknowingly pass it on to newborns and infants — where it can be deadly.
Babies are most at risk before they’re fully vaccinated.
Make sure your child is up to date on their Tdap vaccine.
Stay alert to persistent coughs.
Protect the littlest ones by preventing the spread.
Let’s keep our communities safe — starting at home.
