Abstract
B. pertussis infection occurs frequently in young infants and adolescents/adults; the latter are often responsible for the transmission of pertussis to young infants. The existing surveillance system may underestimate the true incidence of pertussis in older age groups in Chongqing, and the immunisation programme should be improved to provide protection against pertussis for adolescents and young adults.
