Number of whooping cough cases soar in UK - raising concerns about vaccine uptake
news.sky.com/story/number-of-whooping-cough-cases-soar-in-uk-raising-concerns-about-vaccine-uptake-13089524
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.
