“…Additionally, there were documented cases of adverse events following in uenza vaccine administration in 2010 and a child's death due to whooping cough in 2015 [29]. Additionally, Leon-Morillo and colleagues (2021) [31] have demonstrated a decrease in whooping cough cases among children up to one year of age during the pandemic in Spain, from 84 to 36. Similarly, Table 5 displays data from Peru that indicate a greater decrease from 272 to 60 children, which is consistent with our ndings.…”

Background A descriptive correlational non-experimental cross-sectional study was carried out in the Sunampe district on the Peruvian coast to enhance parental adherence to childhood vaccinations. The study aimed to answer the research question of whether there is a correlation between non-compliance with vaccination and an increased risk of vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks in children under five years old, particularly in the context of low coverage in Sunampe. Methods To conduct the study, vaccination status, 123 family interviews, reported illnesses and deaths of children aged 1 to 5 years in the district of SUNAMPE were considered. Preventable diseases were reviewed in the medical history of each child. Deaths in Sunampe were accessed through the SINADEF database. Results Out of the 123 families surveyed, the primary discoveries indicated that neighbouring districts have a higher number of health facilities whereas the families interviewed felt that one solitary health facility was insufficient for the entire district's requirements. No children were affected by the reported cases of illness in Sunampe. However, data extracted from SINADEF between 2017 and 2022 revealed that 10 children under the age of five died in Sunampe. These deaths occurred at a rate of one per year during the pandemic and more than one per year during the pre- and post-pandemic periods. Discussion The susceptibility of children was examined in this study, considering factors like vaccination coverage, diseases contracted in Sunampe, and deaths in the area. Although there are few deaths per year, the prevalence of illness and incomplete immunisation, as well as increased rates of anemia in Peru, pose potential risks regarding vaccines such as DPT and the use of mercury in policies, especially for the economically active population in the future. Conclusion As anticipated, mothers tend not to adhere to their children's vaccination schedule due to insufficient knowledge about vaccines and concerns regarding post-vaccination reactions, which are commonly reported. On the contrary, the surprising outcome was that most parents claimed to not have undergone any severe reactions. We were able to determine that this was due to risks associated with vaccinations, rather than the vaccine itself.

“…Non-pharmacological measures taken to reduce transmission during the COVID-19 pandemic may have had a significant impact on reducing respiratory infections from viruses and bacteria. In the study by Leon-Morillo et al, 16 no cases of pertussis were observed during the first year of pandemic and suggests the potential usefulness of these measures to prevent cases among household, especially if there are newborns at risk of developing pertussis. This issue would encourage more detailed studies in the future.…”

“…Recent studies in Spain, included the studies published in this issue of EIMC 15 , 16 show a high impact of maternal pertussis vaccination in the hospitalization rate due to pertussis among infants. The article of Botia et al 15 shows an important reduction of risk of hospitalisation in children aged <2 months and the study of Leon-Morillo et al 16 suggests a reduction of cases and severity of pertussis in children aged <6 months. The national rate of hospitalization among infants younger than 3 months dropped dramatically and consistently along the post-vaccination period (2016-2019): in 2019, the hospitalization rate (161 per 100,000 population) was more than five times lower than the hospitalization rate (880 per 100,000) reached in 2015.…”
