HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2012-06-07, Page 19THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 2012. PAGE 19. Whooping cough cases on the rise in HuronThe Huron County Health Unit isconcerned about the number ofconfirmed cases of pertussis, orwhooping cough, in Huron County
so far this year. There have been 10
people with the highly infectious
disease. There were no cases of
confirmed pertussis for the same
period last year.
The cases are spread around the
county and in people of all ages.
Most of the people affected had not
been immunized.
“Pertussis is most serious for
young children, especially those
under one year of age. For infants
and young ones, pertussis can lead to
pneumonia, seizures, brain damage
and occasionally death,” says Public
Health Nurse Shirley Chalmers.
The concern has prompted the
health unit to offer free
immunization clinics in June.
Chalmers says they are particularly
encouraging adults who have contact
with children to get the booster shot.
Pertussis is spread through the air
when an infected person coughs or
sneezes. It can also be spread
through contact with an infected
person’s saliva or mucous, such as
by kissing or sharing drinking cups.
Most cases begin with symptoms
similar to a cold. These can include:
a runny nose, congestion, mild
cough, sneezing or a fever. The
cough will become worse after about
a week and can last for weeks after
that. During a coughing spell you
may hear a “whooping” sound,
especially in younger children.
Older children and adults may have
coughing spells that lead to
vomiting.
The Huron County Health Unit is
encouraging parents, grandparents,child care providers, anyone withchildren in their life to get the free pertussis booster.The clinics will be every Tuesdayafternoon for the month of June at the health unit in Clinton. One clinicwill be held in Wingham. Call tomake an appointment at 1-877-837-6143.You can also get the vaccination atyour health care provider’s office.
