Lucas County has noted an increase in pertussis or whopping cough cases in children under 12 years of age recently. Ohio and Southeastern Michigan have also noted an increase that included high school and college-age individuals. Therefore, during the meeting, we will cover information concerning pertussis, including symptoms, prevention measures, post-exposure prophylaxis, close contacts, what to do if a child or staff member has pertussis, and how to handle an outbreak. If there is anything you would like to discuss, please let me know. In the interim, if you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. We look forward to seeing you online on the 21st.
