Pediatric Pertussis in Ambulatory Settings

Sponsor: Association Clinique Thérapeutique Infantile du val de Marne

Summary

Since 2002, Whooping cough surveillance in pediatric private practice has been set up in France. The results of the first years, 2002-2006, have confirmed the effectiveness of the Pertussis whole-cell (Pw) vaccine and in particular the duration of protection of 9/10 years. After evaluating cases in children vaccinated with Pw vaccines, the study aims today to analyze cases in children vaccinated with Pertussis acellular (Pa) vaccines used since 2002/2003 and to assess, on an outpatient basis, the impact of new vaccine recommendations in France (in 2013, introduction of a 2 + 1 schedule - 8 weeks, 4 months and a 11-month recall - and a 6-year recall, and in 2014, update in the recommendations of exams to be prescribed based on the child's age and vaccination status).
