Ang 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙨 o “whooping cough” ay isang nakakahawang sakit na nakamamatay lalo na sa mga sanggol.
Agad na magpakonsulta sa pinakamalapit na health center kapag may sintomas ng pertussis tulad ng sipon, ubo at lagnat kapag lumalala ang pag-ubo sa loob ng 1-2 linggo.
Ang whooping cough ay sinusundan ng matinis at ipit na paghinga matapos umubo; maaari ring magdulot ng pagsusuka, at hirap sa paghinga!
Kumpletuhin ang 3 dosis ng Pentavalent Vaccine o 5 in 1 Vaccine (Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Influenza B at Hepatitis B).
