The children, all of three years old, were diagnosed with the disease, said Henry Rebaza, regional manager of Health.


Confirmed two cases of whooping cough in Huarmey

Eight confirmed cases of pertussis in children under 3 years of age were reported in the region of La Libertad, said Henry Rebaza, regional manager of Health.

The representative also said that these figures are drawn from a report earlier this year, RPP Noticias.

He recalled that pertussis-highly contagious and sometimes even fatal, affects mainly children under five. Therefore advised parents to go to health centers to vaccinate their children and prevent the number of cases increases.

As recalled, a few days ago declared red alert Huarmey City, due to the confirmation of two cases.
