Whooping Cough Cases Are Blowing Up

Whooping cough is making a wild comeback—cases have doubled since last year, hitting over 9,000 already in 2025! It’s especially risky for babies who can’t get vaccinated yet. West Coast states like Washington, Oregon, and California are seeing the biggest spikes, but it’s popping up all over. Experts say falling vaccination rates and a less long-lasting vaccine could be fueling the surge. Herd immunity is slipping, and it’s getting real out there! #WhoopingCough #VaccineAwareness #HealthNews #PublicHealth #Health
