Pertussis Immunization for Adolescents: What Are We Waiting for?
Immunization against pertussis (whooping cough) has been part of the routine childhood immunization program for over 50 years. Until 1997, a whole cell pertussis vaccine was used, most often combined with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids; in some ...

Serologic Response and Antibody-Titer Decay in Adults with Pertussis [PDF]
Pertussis is a frequent and significant illness in adults. Because acellular pertussis vaccines for use in adolescents and adults have now been developed, it is important to compare serologic responses in adults after infection with serologic responses ...
