***Pertussis Survey for Chester County Health Department – Please Complete!***
The Chester County Health Department is seeking feedback from healthcare providers regarding pertussis. In the past ten years, Chester County has experienced multiple pertussis outbreaks among school-aged children. Chester County has also seen a significant decrease in reported cases in 2021 and 2022. As a result of some of these fluctuations over the past decade, we aim to:
- Identify risk factors for pertussis
- Understand the typical clinical presentation of pertussis as well as lab testing and vaccination practices
- Review pertussis reporting by health care providers.
Please help our efforts to better understand provider practices and reporting of pertussis in Chester County. This survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.
