Whooping Cough (Pertussis)
Advisory from Alameda County |
Keep Students Safe and Healthy at
School
Greetings All,
In coordination with Dr. Robert Benjamin at the
Alameda County Health Department, I request your assistance to distribute
the attached letter to teachers and
parents concerning the pertussis (whopping cough) outbreak. It outlines
proactive measures parents and caretakers should take to ensure that children
are not infected.
As you are probably aware, California is
experiencing a sharp increase in the number of whooping cough cases. As we
approach the new school year, it is important for school communities to have
accurate information about the risks of infection to ensure that children and
adults are properly immunized. Please alert teachers and parents to help
distribute the information and take precautions to protect their own health.
The Alameda County Office of Education will
continue to serve as liaison between districts and the county health department
and will keep you apprised of
whooping cough health updates
as well as
resources for free vaccination clinics.
Please feel free to call with any questions or concerns.
Thanks for your assistance,
Sheila Jordan, Superintendent of
Alameda County Schools
