Had whooping cough a few years back.

Doctor said it was making a comeback in the US due to illegal immigrants coming into the country from Mexico and Central America.

It is really bad and it takes a long time to get rid of. I almost coughed my lungs out and actually passed out from coughing

My wife just returned from San Diego and just jot an email that one of the kids at a 4 July party she attended now has whooping cough. The incubation period is a long time..so some people walk around contagious without knowing it. Everybody at the party is now getting booster shots. The girl who was infected attends public school.
We know read that the shots are only about 90% effective.

Seems like a lot of these illnesses are popping up in San Diego. Hmmmmm...I wonder why?

According to the HHSA, the new cases were reported at the following locations, and all but two patients were up-to-date on their immunizations...

You seem up to date on this rdcbn - can you tell me if the immunizations have quit working? Is that what's being said here?
