The Northwestern Health Unit is encouraging folks to get a vaccine against wooping cough.
Wooping cough has been an issue in southern ontario but no reports in the north.
However, it can be very dangerous, especially for babies and seniors.
Manager of Infectous Diseases Donna Stanley says children should recieve the vaccine and a booster shot in their teen years to prevent it from occuring in adulthood.
To book a vaccine appointment, contact your local health unit office.
