• | From 2014 to 2022, 73 confirmed cases of pertussis (n = 65) and parapertussis (n = 8) were reported during this ambulatory surveillance. |
• | For children below 6 years of age, the age of confirmed cases with a 3 + 1 or a 2 + 1 schedule was not significantly different (3.8y ± 1.4 vs 4.2y ± 1.5). |
• | The age of the cases confirmed both the importance of the booster at 6 years of age and the surveillance of the 2 + 1 calendar in the future. |
• | The main source of contamination was either adults or adolescents. |
Abstract |
Objectives |
Following various changes in the vaccine strategy in 2013 and the mandatory vaccination in 2018, we aimed to analyze the vaccination status, age, and source of contamination of pertussis and parapertussis cases in outpatient surveillance.
Patients and Methods |
Confirmed pertussis and parapertussis cases were enrolled by 35 pediatricians.
Results |
From 2014 to 2022, 73 confirmed cases of pertussis (n = 65) and parapertussis (n = 8) were reported. For children below 6 years of age, the number of cases with a 2 + 1 schedule (n = 22) was higher than that of those with a 3 + 1 schedule (n = 7). The age of cases with a 3 + 1 or a 2 + 1 schedule was not significantly different (3.8y ± 1.4 vs 4.2y ± 1.5). The main source of contamination was either adults or adolescents.
Conclusion |
Vaccination status and source of contamination are crucial to study the impact of vaccination recommendations.
