Abstract
⺠Literature review and pooled data analysis on infant pertussis infection sources. ⺠Parents were an important source of pertussis infection in very young infants. ⺠Grandparents were seldom implicated in infant pertussis infection. ⺠Siblings play a role as pertussis a source, but data is heterogeneous. ⺠Parents should be the focus of post-partum pertussis immunisation.
