Summary
Whooping cough is back in Auckland schools — confirmed cases at Whangaparāoa and Orewa Colleges. Health officials warn of possible spread, especially to babies under 12 months who’re most at risk. Symptoms start like a cold but escalate into violent coughing fits, sometimes ending in a “whoop.” Even vaccinated people can catch it — vaccines reduce severity and stop transmission. If symptoms last over two weeks, stay home and avoid vulnerable groups. Free immunisations are available for kids and boosters for adults; pregnant women should get vaccinated too to protect newborns.
