FROM THE DISTRICT NURSE . . .

 

The Northern Kentucky Health Department has asked the KCSD
to inform parents and guardians that they are seeing an increased
number of Pertussis (whooping cough) cases reported in the Northern Kentucky area.  Pertussis is a contagious disease that can be spread in settings where people are in close contact. 

 The early cold-like symptoms of Pertussis progress to a persistent cough that won't go away and worsens with time, including explosive bursts of coughing, vomiting after a coughing episode, a high pitched "woop" at the end of a coughing episode and low grade fever. 

 If your child exhibits any of these symptoms please contact your medical provider. 

 The best way to prevent Pertussis is by vaccination, which is why it is important for schools to have the proper, up-to-date immunization information for children.  The Northern Kentucky Health Department recommends the Tdap vaccine for adults who work in areas of close
contact and for parents of small children. 

 This vaccine can be obtained from the health department for $4, if your health care provider is unable to provide it.  For more information, visit http://www.nkyhealth.org/Pertussis-Fact-Sheet.aspx . Please contact the Health Department at 859-363-2072 with any additional questions or concerns.
