I see a lot on the #fediverse about how #COVID isn't over. (True!). But neither is pertussis. Whooping cough cases are rising globally and there are outbreaks in many cities (Anchorage #Alaska being one). Make sure you're up to date on your Tdap vaccine! Many many people aren't. CDC recommends a dose every 10 years. When going for your new COVID and influenza vaccines see if you need a Tdap as well! #publichealth https://www.forbes.com/sites/joshuacohen/2024/09/10/whooping-cough-cases-rise-in-us-following-pattern-seen-worldwide/
