According to Ontario Public Health between January and March 2024 there have been 70 whooping cough cases reported across the province. Cases have been steadily climbing over the past three years from 16 in 2021 to 333 in 2023.

In order to ensure staff are protected, the Occupational Health and Safety Department is reviewing all staff immunization records on file.  Letters/emails will be sent out to all workers of TBRHSC outlining if you require an updated Pertussis vaccine.

Should you receive such a letter/email, we ask that you promptly attend to the necessary action outlined.

If you have any questions feel free to email the OHS department at TBRHSC.OccupationalHealthandSafety@tbh.net.
