In January, the Arizona Partners Against Pertussis (APAP) and the March of Dimes Arizona Chapter, challenged health care facilities to protect their patients from pertussis by achieving 100% Tdap immunization in their workplace. Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center has achieved 100% immunization and has set a precedence for their patients and encourages them to “cocoon” their babies with a pertussis free community.
