Pertussis – Whooping Cough (SCHOOL HEADING) (SCHOOL TELEPHONE NUMBER) Dear Parent or Guardian: This is to inform you that your child may have been exposed to Pertussis (whooping cough). The signs and symptoms, mode of transmission and incubation period are as follows: Signs and Symptoms: Pertussis is a bacterial disease involving the respiratory tract. The disease usually starts with cold-like symptoms and can include a mild cough or fever. After 1 to 2 weeks, severe coughing can begin. Unlike the common cold, pertussis can become a series of coughing fits, sometimes followed by vomiting, or whooping that continues for weeks. Mode of Transmission: Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory disease. Pertussis is spread when infected individuals cough or sneeze while in close contact with others. Incubation Period: People usually develop pertussis within 7–10 days after being exposed, but sometimes not for as long as 6 weeks. Should your child present any of these symptoms, we recommend that you consult your family healthcare provider immediately. Sincerely, Principal 14
