So far in 2012 more than 600 cases have been reported, compared to fewer than 100 cases in the same time period in 2011. This puts us on track to have the highest number of cases in decades.</p>&#13; <p> </p>&#13; <p>The disease affects people of all ages, but is most serious in infants. The rate of pertussis in infants in our state is nearly five times the overall rate of disease for all ages. Most infants get this disease from their parents or other family members.</p>&#13; <p> </p>&#13; <p>We need your help in reducing the spread of this disease. Most people get a series of pertussis vaccines when they’re kids, but protection wears off over time. Vaccination is the key to stopping the spread of this disease.  Please see that your children's immunizations are up to date.</p> Tue, 03 Apr 2012 16:00:00 -0700 http://www.nwspokanepediatrics.net/blog/pertussis-whooping-cough/ Ice Cream?
