Update:
Pertussis (Whooping Cough)
We have recently had an outbreak of pertussis in the area. Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, begins as a mild cold which progresses to fits of coughing. The child will often vomit, turn blue or stop breathing due to prolonged coughing fits. The typical duration of illness from pertussis is 6- 10 weeks or longer. This illness can be especially dangerous in children under 1 year of age. Routine childhood vaccinations include DTP which immunizes against pertussis. This is typically given at 2, 4, 6 and 15 months as well as 5 years. If your child has not been immunized please consider having this done as soon as possible. If your child is exhibiting these symptoms or has been exposed to someone with pertussis please call your doctor's office.
