Reasons now is a good time to discuss vaccination to protect against whooping cough with your healthcare provider:
🩹 You can be vaccinated any time of the year.
📈 In 2024, we saw more annual cases of pertussis than we’ve seen since 2012.
⬆ Whooping cough cases are still elevated. There have been over 8,000 cases so far this year, more than double the number at this time last year.
