Health News, Health officials are advising parents to ensure children are vaccinated against whooping cough after five cases of the deadly disease were detected in south-east NSW.

The Greater Southern Area Health Service's director of public health, Tony Kolbe, says babies and young children are the most vulnerable, although the disease is increasingly being found in young adults aged 16 to 25.

He says the problem is likely to be bigger than first thought.
