PERTUSSIS ALERT


 
  • Important Alert for families in Washtenaw County: the health department has noted a sharp rise in cases of PERTUSSIS (whooping cough) among adults and teens (who may have diminishing immunity) and unvaccinated children.
  • Pertussis is highly contagious and occurs as the Bordatella pertussis bacteria attacks the respiratory system. Symptoms include: low grade fever, runny nose and coughing attacks which can become more severe after 1 - 2 weeks and may last up to one month. Life-threatening complications such as pneumonia and convulsions can occur. 
  • If you are an adult with diminishing immunity, please talk with your health care provider about a booster vaccination.
