Two of the babies who died from whooping cough were only 2.3 months old and did not even have time to receive the vaccine before they got sick, Telegraf has learned.
Two of the babies were from Belgrade, and two from other parts of the country.
The news that four babies died in Belgrade from whooping cough shook Serbia. This was followed by information that another child's life is in danger because of the same disease.
Professor Vladislav Vukomanovic, pediatric cardiologist and deputy director of the Institute for the Mother and Child in Belgrade, announced that the child is on a ventilator and in a serious condition.
"One child is currently on a ventilator, which means serious danger to respiration and life, while, unfortunately, fatal outcome occurred in four patients," Vukomanovic stated.
The doctor also pointed out that the number of pertussis-positive children is about 70, and that two thirds are hospitalized.
