Why Whooping Cough Is Back (Again)

Whooping cough is making a comeback in the US, with cases doubling compared to last year. Experts say it’s partly because fewer kids are getting vaccinated and anti-vax attitudes are on the rise. The illness is especially risky for babies, and outbreaks are hitting schools hard. Doctors are worried because herd immunity is slipping—if vaccination rates drop below 95%, everyone’s at higher risk. If you’re due for a booster or expecting a baby, doctors say now’s the time to get protected! #WhoopingCough #Vaccines #PublicHealth #Parenting #HealthNews #Health
