Whooping cough site
September 2, 2011
PARENTS and healthcare workers
wishing to learn more about whooping
cough can now access a new
website, dedicated to the subject.
Launched this week by Sanofi
Pasteur the website includes:
information on what whooping
cough is, how it’s spread,
symptoms, complications,
prevention and vaccine.
The site also features a video to
help users recognise the symptoms
of the disease, and to recognise its
seriousness; as well as a state by
state breakdown of the number of
people diagnosed with whooping
cough; a state by state breakdown
of free adult whooping cough
vaccination programs; and
examples of national media stories
on whooping cough.
This website will help parents to
know what to look for and when to
act,” said Paediatrician Dr Chris Ingall.
