Whooping cough in children: Why vaccination is important

😷 Whooping cough is a serious infectious disease that is especially dangerous for children. At first glance, its symptoms may resemble a common cold: runny nose, cough, slight increase in temperature. But, unlike ordinary SARS, his cough becomes more and more severe, turning into protracted attacks that can cause difficulty breathing, vomiting, and sometimes even respiratory arrest.

👧 Whooping cough is the greatest danger for babies and small children, since their bodies are not yet able to effectively fight the infection. That is why vaccination is critically important. Vaccination against whooping cough is the only reliable way to protect the baby from this dangerous disease.

💉 Vaccination not only reduces the risk of infection, but also helps prevent severe complications that can accompany whooping cough. Protected children tolerate the disease more easily, if they do get infected, and also protect other babies who do not yet have immunity.
