Whooping cough, or pertussis, affects countries worldwide, with cases reported in both developed and developing nations. It is particularly prevalent in regions with low vaccination rates, leading to outbreaks in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, India, and Brazil. Vaccination programs have significantly reduced incidence rates in many countries, but sporadic outbreaks still occur due to waning immunity and vaccine hesitancy. Global health organizations continue to monitor and respond to pertussis cases to prevent its spread.
The continent of Africa is affected the most by whooping cough (also known as Pertussis). In particular, the country of Niger suffers the most from the disease.
It is called Pertussis or "Whooping Cough".
