Pertussis on the loose in Vermont

[Guest guest]

Oh goodie.

I'm going to Dartmouth Hitchcock Monday for my yearly eye exam and

there are 100 + cases of Pertussis in and near that facility.

The nurses and hopsital workers have been vaccinated there and also

here at the Fletcher facility (they are about 90 miles appart).

It's not big enough to make the news- but I know people who work at both

hospitals... so we'll see I guess if it spreads more.

That's a nasty bug that I've always wondered if when people recover-

there isn't some remaining (latently)in the body.

Later,

Barb
