"Rising Whooping Cough Outbreaks in New York Prompt Urgent Vaccination Calls"

The Tri-State Area is experiencing a surge in whooping cough cases, leading doctors to emphasize the importance of vaccination. A local father, Tom Wysocki, and his family have been suffering from persistent coughing, which is likely whooping cough, highlighting the illness's presence beyond childhood. Pediatrician Dr. Mondana Yazdi notes that testing for whooping cough is complex and that "vaccine fatigue" from the pandemic is contributing to lower vaccination rates. Health officials have reported a significant increase in cases in Suffolk County, with 108 cases this year compared to four last year, but most cases can be treated with common antibiotics. Doctors recommend children be vaccinated against pertussis and adults to receive a booster every 10 years.
