Whooping cough hits epidemic levels in California
California health officials say five infants have died from whooping cough, which is at epidemic levels in the state as the number of cases has quadrupled over the same time period last year. Officials urged relatives and caregivers of infants to get booster shots and said doctors should hospitalize ill infants in a facility with an intensive care unit. Los Angeles Times (6/24)
