Whooping cough (pertussis)

Please be advised that a member of NWMR has been diagnosed with whooping cough (pertussis).
For more information about whooping cough including what it is and the associated symptoms, please read the attached fact sheet.

Although members may have been vaccinated against whooping cough in the past, and hence have a lesser chance of contracting the illness, protection is not life long.

If you experience any symptoms that you suspect could be linked to whooping cough, we strongly recommend that you see your General Practitioner as soon as practicable.

If you have any questions about this email, please do not hesitate to see or call Tina Marchington or myself.

Regards,

Sam ChhayActing Manager Human Resources
