[quote=Anonymous]The NYT just reported on the surge of pertussis: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/16/vaccination-is-steady-but-pertussis-is-surging/?scp=2&sq=pertussis&st=cse I think the special case with pertussis is that people THINK it's just a cold, so they don't take it very seriously, until it lingers, and then it turns out it's something more severe than a cold. The surge in pertussis is so new that it doesn't get diagnosed (and therefore spread to lots of people) until it progresses. Also, the dr recommendation for vaccination is very new, certainly within the last year. I think it's great when our medical profession tries to stay ahead of outbreaks. [/quote]
