Health experts are once again eyeing the spread of Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, in the Bay Area; this time in San Francisco, where more than a dozen cases have been reported since January, including at a Catholic high school in the city.

"The main thing is to control the outbreak, meaning that anyone who has these symptoms has to stay home, has to get the antibiotic."Since January, The San Francisco Department of Public Health says there have been 13 cases in the city; most of them among high school students at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory.
"Gandhi says the vast majority of people in the Bay Area have already been vaccinated, and described the vaccine as, "really safe, very few side effects. People do really well with these vaccines.""I’m really not that concerned that much," said Jie Yng, whose daughter attends Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory. "School handled very well. They informed me several times.
