After the tragic death of a baby in Graz, pediatricians are sounding the alarm: far too few people have been vaccinated against whooping cough! When it comes to whooping cough, unvaccinated adults or older children (without a booster vaccination) pose a major danger to the little ones. With a top doctor, Krone+ shows the dangers and the three stages of the disease – and what you can do about it.
Austria and many European countries are currently experiencing a resurgence of whooping cough and a significant increase in the number of cases, including deaths (especially in the first year of life). Whooping cough is a highly contagious respiratory disease that is transmitted from person to person through small droplets in the air we breathe and is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. The pathogen is transmitted through the air when you cough or sneeze.
