In California alone, whooping cough struck 2,000 people between January and October 2024, resulting in over 60 hospitalizations among infants, underscoring the urgency for vaccinations.
The pandemic's disruption of childhood immunizations has left hundreds of thousands of children vulnerable to diseases like measles, mumps, and rubella, threatening their safety.
