More people may not be able to afford the vaccinations, and some children are not inoculated. Some of the victims were babies who were not even old enough to be vaccinated.
The vaccine is designed to fight against the illness, itself, but does nothing in preventing or treating the infections associated with it.
Another disturbing cause for the outbreak is thought to be that the bacteria that causes whooping cough may be joining the ranks of the super bugs. It's feared that the strain is becoming resistant to antibiotics, like so many other bacterium. If the NDM-1 enzyme combines with the whooping cough bacteria, a new way of treating whooping cough would have to be found before it gets completely out of control. Whooping cough is extremely contagious and coughing and sneezing contributes to its spread.

M$It is not true that the Whooping Cough (Pertussis) still infecting millions of vaccinated children.
Rather Whooping Cough (Pertussis) is still infecting millions of non-vaccinated children, adults.
