Colorado is currently seeings its greatest number of pertussis cases in six decades, with more than 1,400 cases reported in the state as of December 2012. The last time Colorado saw pertussis numbers reach this level was in 1948.

• Understand the relationship between "cocooning" and pertussis prevention.
• As Manager of the Communicable Disease Epidemiology Program at CDPHE, Lisa Miller, MD, MSPH, will also be providing learners with information and data surrounding Colorado's own pertussis epidemic.

Light snacks and beverages will be provided.
