A study published in Eurosurveillance details the 2023 pertussis epidemic in Denmark, emphasizing the age-specific incidence, the role of maternal vaccination in reducing infant hospitalizations, and the impact of vaccination strategies on managing the outbreak.
By Vijay Kumar MalesuApr 8 2024Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent study published in the journal Eurosurveillance, researchers discuss the recent pertussis epidemic in Denmark, focusing on age-specific incidences, infant hospitalization rates, and the effectiveness of maternal vaccination to enhance infant protection.
Additional research is needed to understand the evolving epidemiology of pertussis, assess the effectiveness of new vaccination strategies, and identify optimal prevention measures for vulnerable populations. Pertussis vaccination protocol Denmark follows a rigorous vaccination schedule against pertussis, which targets the disease along with diphtheria, tetanus, polio, and Haemophilus influenzae type b infections.
Alongside other respiratory infections, the spread of pertussis significantly decreased following the introduction of non-pharmaceutical interventions in 2020 to mitigate the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. In fact, these measures led to an almost complete disappearance of pertussis cases. Vaccination coverage and its impact Investigations into the vaccination status of children under two years of age affected by pertussis in 2023 revealed that 37.9% were unvaccinated, 48.1% had received partial vaccination, and only 14.1% were fully vaccinated against the disease.
