  6. Tetanus (also called Lockjaw) • Caused by C. tetani, a bacteria • Causes muscle spasms and prolonged contractions • In recent years, approximately 11% of reported tetanus cases have been fatal. The highest mortality rates are in unvaccinated people and people over 60 years of age.

  7. Pertussis (whooping cough) • Whooping cough — or pertussis — is an infection of the respiratory system caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis (or B. pertussis). It's characterized by severe coughing spells that end in a "whooping" sound when the person breathes in. Before a vaccine was available, pertussis killed 5,000 to 10,000 people in the United States each year. Now, the pertussis vaccine has reduced the annual number of deaths to less than 30

  12. Mumps • Causes swelling in the salivary glands • Mumps was common until the mumps vaccine was licensed in 1967. Before the vaccine, more than 200,000 cases occurred each year in the United States. Since then the number of cases has dropped to fewer than 1,000 a year, and epidemics have become fairly rare.

  13. Rubella • This disease is often mild and attacks often pass unnoticed. • The disease can last one to three days. • Children recover more quickly than adults • Symptoms are similar to the flu, with a rash on the face and body.
