Pertussis continues to be an important public-health issue. The high immunization
coverage rates achieved, mainly in industrialized countries, have certainly
decreased the spread of the pathogen. However, as immunity wanes, adolescents and
adults play an important role in the dynamics of the infection. The surveillance
system has several limitations and the underestimation of pertussis in
adolescents, young adults and adults is mainly related to the atypical clinical
characteristics of cases and the lack of lab confirmation. The real
epidemiological impact of pertussis is not always perceived. The unavailability
of comprehensive data should not hamper the adoption of active prophylactic
measures designed to avoid the impact of waning immunity against pertussis.
Different immunization strategies have been suggested and/or already adopted such
as immunization of newborns, pre-school and school children, adolescents, adults,
healthcare workers, childcare workers, pregnant women, cocoon strategy.
Prevention of pertussis requires an integrated approach and the adoption of
different immunization strategies, with the objective of achieving and
maintaining high coverage rates.
