There has been a"steady increase" in the number of whooping cough cases in Ireland so far this year, the Health Service Executive has said.
According to the HPSC's report on infectious diseases, three people were hospitalised with it last week. The previous week, six patients were admitted to hospital with the condition. Symptoms resemble a common cold and a mild cough, which becomes more severe and is characterised by rapid coughs and a high-pitched whoop.
Protection is also provided in the six-in-one and four-in-one vaccines that are offered to young children.
