EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — Snohomish County health officials are trying to slow the spread of whooping cough by offering free vaccinations to low-income adults at risk of contracting the disease.
The Daily Herald reports (http://is.gd/5VY4K3 ) about 450 doses will be available from the health district Saturday in Everett and Marysville.
Snohomish County typically has 24 to 45 cases of whooping cough a year. So far it already has 51.
