Pertussis (whooping cough) is on the rise in southeast Idaho. Knowing the symptoms can help protect you, your family, and our community.
Watch for severe coughing fits, difficulty breathing, vomiting after coughing, or a “whooping” sound when breathing in. If you or your child develops symptoms, contact a healthcare provider.
Vaccination remains an important tool for preventing pertussis and protecting those at greatest risk of serious illness, especially infants.
Stay informed. Know the signs. Help stop the spread. For more info., contact Southeastern Idaho Public Health at 208-233-9080.

Stigma shouldn't stand in the way of treatment. 💜
1 in 5 people with substance use disorder do not receive treatment. Fear of shame and discrimination is one of the biggest barriers to getting help.
By replacing stigma with compassion, we can help more people feel safe seeking the care they deserve.
