Whooping cough cases on the rise, doctors blame lack of vaccinations

The video discusses a significant rise in whooping cough cases in the US, particularly in Washington state, where cases have increased from a few dozen to nearly 1200. The rise is attributed to waning vaccination rates and the natural cycle of the disease. Symptoms resemble a common cold but can lead to a prolonged cough. Nationally, cases have surged to over 22,000. Vaccination is emphasized as an effective preventive measure, with vaccines available for infants from two months of age. Additionally, walking pneumonia is on the rise, especially among children, as flu season approaches.
