Another name for the whooping caugh is Pertussis.
infection that is most dangerous to children under two years old. Since whooping cough .
can be deadly, vaccination and treatment against whooping cough is very important. .
Vaccination against diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus and hib, is combined .
into one injection called "dpt/hib". This vaccination is usually given to a baby when he or she is 2 months .
old age and again at 4 and 6 months old. There is also a booster shot given to these babies at 18 months .
and at 4 - 6 years old. This series of treatments usually prevents whooping cough. In rare .
cases whooping cough may occur even though one has recieved vaccination (ex. full immunity has not .
developed). The symptoms of whooping cough in these cases, however, are generally much worse. .
.
Vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough may cause fever, .
tenderness, redness and swelling in the area where this child was injected. These .
symptoms can last one to two days. In some very rare cases, serious reactions to the whooping cough .
part of the vaccination can occur , especially if your child has a history of seizures, a reaction to .
the vaccine previously or has a sickness with a fever before the vaccine is given. This has caused some .
parents to be worried and concerned. In fact, in some countries parents have stopped treating their .
children of the whooping caugh, or pertussis. Due to the parents acting like this the result has been a .
more highly number of children catching and dying from whooping cough. Since .
1997, the 'acellular' whooping cough vaccine has been in use in Alberta. This word .
'acellular' means that only a part of the whooping cough bacteria is used in the treatment .
instead of the whole bacteria. This has resulted in lowering risk of serious reactions to this .
disease than the previous medicine and treatment. Calgary Health Region Healthy Communities .
continues to help out with the use of all childhood treatments, including pertussis vaccination.
