of pertussis vaccines as children,but the protection wears offover time. The state Departmentof Health recommends peoplesubstitute a Tdap vaccine for aroutine tetanus booster. Onlyone Tdap vaccine is recom-mended in a person’s lifetime.

The initial symptoms of per-tussis resemble the commoncold — sneezing, runny nose, alow-grade fever and a mildcough. Then, within two weeks,the cough can become severeand can develop into coughingspells followed by a high-pitched whoop.

Infected people can spreadthe disease from the start of thesymptoms until three weeksafter the coughing episodesstart, although antibiotics canreduce the contagious period.

People suffering from a severecough, especially if it includesfits of coughing or causes vom-iting, should seek medical care.In addition, they should stayaway from babies, young chil-dren and pregnant women untiltested and treated for pertussis.
