KY Officials confirm 2 whooping cough deaths in infants Health officials urge recommended immunizations From Kendra Steele/Beth Fisher Frankfort, KY - On June 6, 2025, state health officials with the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH) announced that two infants have died from pertussis (whooping cough) in the commonwealth in the last six months. Neither the infants nor their mothers had received the recommended immunizations against pertussis during pregnancy or infancy. These are the first pertussis-related deaths in Kentucky since 2018. Health officials urge all Kentuckians to remain up to date on recommended pertussis immunizations and emphasize the importance of maternal immunization during pregnancy and for all infants beginning promptly at 2 months of age. "Anyone can get whooping cough, but infants are at greatest risk for life-threatening illness," said KDPH Commissioner Dr. Steven Stack. "Fortunately, when vaccinations are administered to pregnant women, it provides protection to both the mother and the baby."

Eighty-one years ago: D-Day, June 6, 1944 By Mike Watson The largest invasion in history began sixty-nine years ago today. Long planned and stalled by bad weather, Operation Overlord, the invasion of German-occupied France at Normandy by the Allied Forces under direction of General Dwight Eisenhower, was the opening of a second front of fighting in Europe. The movement required a full moon and favorable conditions at sea. The Germans believed an invasion would come at Calais, the closest point between England and France, and they believed could not come at this time due to weather conditions. The invasion began shortly after midnight on June 6, 1944. General Eisenhower, who had been named Supreme Allied Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force, had been faced with the task of ordering the advance as soon as possible, this date became D-Day, the Longest Day. According to final plans, three airborne divisions were to be followed by five ground divisions.
