What is whooping cough and how to protect your family from the bacterial infection

Whooping cough, a bacterial infection that can be especially dangerous for babies and young children, is on the rise. As of November 2025, the U.S. has already recorded 20,939 cases for the year. That’s slightly lower than the 21,391 cases during the same period in 2024, but these numbers are significantly higher than in 2023, when there were 2,993 cases by this time. Texas has issued a health alert on a surge in cases, and rates are rising in other states, too.
