An article from Bakersfield :
" They are both young and old. Men and women. Hispanic and not. And they're scattered throughout Bakersfield.
The locals who've contracted the respiratory infection whooping cough, or Pertussis, this year vary widely and because there have been so many, health officials are stepping up their call for people -- especially those around young children -- to make sure they're vaccinated.
It's reminiscent of the campaign launched when the H1N1 (swine) flu hit this past year. In fact, Kaiser Permanente is employing lessons learned then about getting information out quickly to members and staff, said Dr. Paul Fuller, assistant area medical director for Kaiser in Kern County."
