The Sounds of Pertussis campaign is a national education campaign from March of Dimes and Sanofi Pasteur to help raise awareness about the potential dangers of pertussis, also known as whooping cough, and the importance of adult tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccination. As part of the campaign, actress, singer, and mother Jennifer Lopez helped launch a public service announcement (PSA) to raise awareness about how adults can help prevent contracting and spreading pertussis to babies.
Started in 2009, the campaign continues to help educate parents, grandparents, caregivers and others in close contact with infants about the importance of getting vaccinated with the adult Tdap vaccine to help protect themselves and to help stop the spread of the disease to infants.
The Office of the Mayor of New York City proclaimed August 11, 2011 as Pertussis Awareness Day, which falls during National Immunization Awareness Month.
