Health Officials Attribute Pertussis Spike to Waning Vaccination Protection in Children

Public health campaigns may be necessary to inform parents about the importance of maintaining vaccination schedules to prevent resurgence of this infectious disease. Understanding the role of vaccinations in community health is crucial in combating these spikes.
