Health Unit Reports Whooping Cough Cases

Thunder Bay's Health Unit says they've seen four cases of Whooping Cough in the District since August.  Infectious Disease Manager Darlene Binette says the infection is easily spread through coughing or sneezing.  Binette says adults who may have been immunized for the disease as children should get another shot to protect against the disease.
