In Pasadena, four children at Don Benito Fundamental School have tested positive for whooping cough — a disease that vaccines were meant to relegate to memory. The outbreak is a quiet but pointed reminder that the distance between a protected community and a preventable illness is measured not in years, but in vaccination rates. Health officials have begun the careful work of tracing contacts and asking the questions that always follow when an old disease finds new footing among the young.
