چکیده
Previously controlled vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs) are in resurgence. To date, there have been 477 confirmed measles cases in the United States in 2014, the most in 18 years. In 2013 there were ∼25 000 pertussis cases in the United States. Vaccine refusal has been associated with outbreaks of invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b disease, varicella, pneumococcal disease, measles, and pertussis.

متن کاملPertussis Vaccine Effectiveness and Waning Immunity
A resurgence of pertussis cases among immunized and unimmunized individuals raised questions about vaccine effectiveness and waning immunity. We performed a test-negative case-control study, utilizing Ontario administrative and laboratory data.
