Pertussis/Whooping Cough Information |
|
Tuesday, 24 August 2010 |
The CDC recommends a single dose fo Tdap vaccine- or Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis- to prevent against Pertussis- also known as Whooping Cough- for adolescents aged 11, or 12. A booster is recommended because early childhood vaccination against Pertussis is not life long. This booster will help adolescents continue to be protected. The CDC also recommends that adults receive Tdap in place of their next tetanus booster. If your child hasn't yet received their Tdap booster, please talk to your health care provider. Pertussis/ Whooping Cough illness in adolescents ranges from mild cough to severe symptoms and although rarely fatal in adolescents and adults, it can be very serious causing students to miss significant amounts of school, sports and social activities.
