Think about whooping cough
A respiratory illness that might be orgotten during the inuenza
(u) season is pertussis
(whooping cough). Whooping cough is a bacterial inection which
can present initially as a
u-like illness but develops into a cough which can persist or
several weeks.
In adults, whooping cough rarely produces severe complications
but inectious adults canpass the disease on to others. O most
concern are young children under six months o age
who are more likely to become severely ill and suer serious
complications rom inection.To prevent the spread o inection, anyone
with a coughing illness should stay home romwork or school during
the inectious period.
Vaccination is the best way to protect yoursel and the community
rom whooping cough.
Whooping cough vaccination is provided to babies and children as
part o the routine
childhood vaccination program. The vaccine is also particularly
important or those whohave regular contact with young children,
such as Health Care Workers (particularly in
maternity units) and Child Care Workers. Free whooping cough
vaccine is available untilthe end o 2010 in the ACT to parents and
grandparents o babies aged less than 12
months o age.
