This is my son’s rapid decline with #WhoopingCough (too young to be vaccinated).
Day 1 in hospital he was OK, just tired & not breastfeeding enough.
By day 5, he was gone 💔
There is no cure for whooping cough, only prevention (including pregnancy vaccination!)

To be fully effective, a vaccine needs herd immunity — where enough people are vaccinated, that they can protect those who aren't.
Achieving herd immunity for measles means a 95% rate of vaccination.
