The one thing that covid has taught me is that there are those that listen to science and will vaccinate and those that feel that the world is out to get them and refuse.

Vaccinate! Vaccinate! Vaccinate! It is so incredibly important.

My daughter had whooping cough last year. She had all her immunizations.
The daughter of my friend was numerous times hospitalized with whooping cough. She had all her immunizations as well.

Croup is bad enough to hear a baby coughing and gasping for air, then crying, Thankfully it isn’t contagious. Whooping Cough is. Were a lot of children not vaccinated or was one batch faulty?
The only reason a child should not be vaccinated is if life is t risk because of a severe allergy.

I vaccinate my children but my baby is only 4 months old so it makes me so nervous when there are outbreaks.

Such a horrible disease. Very scary seeing little ones suffering with this.

Whooping cough is just so harrowing.

When will parents vaccinate their children as a matter of course? These outbreaks can so easily be ended if only they would.

Wonder if this was caused by parents not vaccinating their children and sending them to school or if it’s a new strain. Hopefully all children make a full recovery.

I thought no vaccinations no school.. I definitely have my kids vaccinated, would never want them to get something I could have prevented.

I am staying away from sydney east then!

I can’t believe in this day and age whooping cough is still a pressing issue. It seems to be growing. It is such a horrible illness that you would not wish on anyone. Clearly it’s a vaccination issue – the breakdown or non-take-up has reintroduced it to our community.

Our three are all up to date with vaccinations but we have to worry about contracting from those stupid parents children who THEY refuse to vaccinate,All of these diseases are making a huge come back because of this stupidity putting future children’s lives at risk,Wake up STUPID.Cheer’s Krusty.

My 14yr old daughter had whooping cough last year. Had all her vaccinations.

Whooping cough is an awful disease. I hope they get better quickly and haven’t passed it on to any little babies.

Vaccination shouldn’t be optional unless there actually is a real medical reason

Always scary when you hear there is an outbreak like this.

It will be a good day when we can look back and these diseases are a distant memory like many of the ones we currently get vaccinated against like polio.

Very concerning. It can be so dangerous. Who can forget the little Riley? And still, some people haven’t learned anything from that.

For crying out loud. Vaccinate your kids! It’s beyond ridiculous that parents out here will knowingly put their kids at risk of contracting something with the potential to be fatal. They’d rather risk their child’s life than protect it. Hope all those who can’t be immunised in the area are kept safe and well.
