Whooping Cough Cases Surge 340% Nationwide Since 2014, Pennsylvania Hit Hardest
Oct 12, 2024, 11:00 AM
Whooping cough is spreading nationwide at the highest levels since 2014, with a significant surge in cases. Experts are concerned that the outbreak could worsen in the fall and winter. In King County, none of the mothers of the 12 babies seen with whooping cough this year received the vaccine during pregnancy. The disease is highly contagious, especially in areas with insufficient vaccination. Cases in Wisconsin are ten times higher than last year. Pennsylvania has been hit hardest by the outbreak, with nearly 2,200 residents infected, outpacing every other state. Overall, whooping cough cases have increased by more than 340% compared to the same period last year, according to FoxNews. Medical experts from UWHealth and WHYYNews have expressed concerns about the current situation.
