'Dramatic rise' in whooping cough: Southwestern Public Health

Health officials in Oxford and Elgin counties are warning parents and guardians to keep their children up to date on their vaccinations following a 'dramatic rise' in cases of pertussis — also known as whooping cough — over the past 14 months. This represents 40 per cent of the provincial total from that time period.
