WHOOPING COUGH
Outbreaks of Whooping Cough tend to
occur in four year cycles though there
are sporadic cases at any time. There
is likely to be a peak in the number of
whooping cough notifications in 1990 as
there was in 1986, 1982, 1978 and 1974.
The uptake of whooping cough vaccine
is about 65% which means that a lot of
unvaccinated children will be at risk
of developing this particularly nasty
disease in the future.
The risks of whooping cough vaccine
are greater in some groups of children.
They can be given diptheria and tetanus
vaccine, without whooping cough.
