"I want to use this opportunity to remind parents to vaccinate their children against this dangerous infection," Curbelo said in a statement. "Adults should be aware that booster shots are necessary in order to maintain the vaccine's effectiveness."
Hemman says the cases the district has heard about were people who've been vaccinated.
The Reno County Health Department tells us a majority of the total cases have been vaccinated

The pertussis vaccine. Does it actually work or does it make you more vulnerable by damaging your immune system?

Actually, I played cards with some people who were state police and one told me that the evidence showed years ago that people who have a beer or two actually have less accidents.
Although it initially resembles an ordinary cold, whooping cough may eventually turn more serious, particularly in infants. The best way to prevent it is through vaccinations. The childhood vaccine is called DTaP. The whooping cough booster vaccine for adolescents and adults is called Tdap. Both DTaP and Tdap protect against whooping cough, tetanus, and diphtheria.

It isn't that the alcohol has no effect. It does; it's that it has just enough effect that the person may still be very aware of that effect and be extra careful when driving. The two may balance out.
I don't base this off of driving drunk, but I base it off of when I used to have prescription narcotics. After having taken one, I was very aware that my ability was impaired, but I because I was aware, I was also super careful when I had to drive.
I assume that there is a similar threshold with most people and alcohol.
