“…Programs could assist in assessing and increasing faculty vaccination rates by educating faculty, thereby reducing the risk of pertussis among children younger than 2 years. Caceres-Mejia et al (2013) noted that "in epidemiologic terms any strategy that diminishes the number of potential infected contacts will reduce the probability of disease transmission" (p. 1145). Chiappini, Stival, Galli, and de Martino (2013) concluded that "policymakers should invest more resources in the education of public health providers and of the population about the benefits of vaccination" (p. 9), agreeing with the results of this study.…”

The resurgence of pertussis is puzzling, especially given the requirement that children complete recommended immunizations prior to school entry. Are adult carriers unknowingly infecting children? What do adult caregivers know about pertussis and the tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) booster vaccine? How can the incidence of pertussis in children younger than 2 years, a group most at risk for complications of the disease, be reduced? This article examines the incidence of pertussis and strategies to reduce pertussis incidence in the United States. If the need for Tdap vaccine is identified and favorably received by adults, immunization programs can be arranged at worksites to better protect infants who are most at risk for pertussis.
