Abstract
⺠Young infants have the highest morbidity and mortality from pertussis. ⺠Parents are a common source of pertussis for young infants. ⺠Immunizing parents and household contacts with pertussis vaccine is recommended. ⺠Immunizing parents should reduce infant pertussis hospitalizations by â¥9-14%. ⺠Parental Tdap immunization may also benefit infants of subsequent pregnancies.
