Five confirmed cases and a further 18 suspected cases of whooping cough (pertussis) have been notified recently to the Nelson Marlborough Public Health Service (PHS). All come from the Nelson region.
Dr Stephen Bridgman, Medical Officer of Health, urges people and parents to be vigilant and seek immediate advice from their GP if they or their children show symptoms.
He also urges pregnant women to book in for a free pertussis vaccination if they have not already been vaccinated.
“Whooping cough affects people of all ages, but can be very serious for infants ,” Dr Bridgman says.
Contact your doctor or practice nurse if you are unsure whether you or your family has been vaccinated, and book in vaccination if they haven’t.

Will your child’s school be in the local newspapers?

The Team from Marlborough District Council

I’m feeling my age this week, recovering from the Clued Up Kids programme for Years 5 and 6 students, held at Brayshaw Park. This is my first year at Clued Up Kids and I had a great time! It’s exciting to see how many children remember the safety messages they’ve already learnt – they certainly enjoyed the chance to tell us what they know!

Preparing our children to work together in an emergency is certainly worth it. To see more, keep an eye out for photos from your child’s school and in the local newspapers!
