⭐Pertussis (whooping cough) is an exceptionally transmissible infection of the respiratory tract. It is frequently characterised by a severe hacking cough followed by a "whoop"-sounding high-pitched inhalation of air. ⭐Prior to the development of the vaccine, whooping cough was regarded as a malady of childhood. Currently, whooping cough predominantly impacts children who have not yet received the complete course of vaccinations, adolescents, and adults whose immunity has diminished. ⭐Although fatalities related to whooping cough are uncommon, they predominantly manifest in neonates. For this reason, whooping cough vaccination is critical for pregnant women and other individuals who will have direct contact with an infant.

1moAs a 49 year old male, with long COVID, and an underactive thyroid, Pertussis, was originally missed on the first trip to my G. Fortunately the second phone call had me have a coughing fit on the phone. Now 3 months later I still loose my voice if I cough, struggle to breath, leaves me feeling week and tired for a few hours and it has had a major impact on my ability to work. I am not sure why we all don’t get a booster, after all I had a booster while at school many years ago. To everyone offered a chance to receive a booster I would suggest get it.
