Quick Glance: Tips for Preventing Whooping Cough Amid Increasing Incidence
  • With a significant rise in cases in England in January, whooping cough is being more frequently diagnosed.

  • A key disparity between a regular cough and whooping cough lies in the intensity of symptoms, such as strong coughing fits, especially at night, accompanied by a high-pitched 'whoop,' vomiting, red face, and breathing difficulties.

  • Whooping cough is highly contagious and can have serious consequences, particularly for unvaccinated babies and children.

  • The most effective prevention against whooping cough remains vaccination, included in the NHS routine immunization schedule and administered to infants.
