Pasadena Pertussis Outbreak Triggers Public Health Warning
Pasadena Public Health Department is investigating three confirmed pertussis cases at Blair Middle School, part of a LA County–wide spike that has reached 11 Pasadena cases this year (vs. about 3 in a typical year). Officials urged vigilance for abnormal coughs, recommended testing and early antibiotic treatment, and stressed the importance of vaccination—DTaP for children and Tdap boosters for adults, including pregnant individuals and caregivers.
