Zusatzinfo zur #Impfung gegen #Pertussis = #Keuchhusten:

Es handelt sich um eine Kombiimpfung mit Tetanus, Diphtherie und Polio, die nach der Grundimmunisierung im Kindesalter alle 10 Jahre aufgefrischt werden sollte.

Mit anderen Worten: Wer wegen einer Verletzung eine "Tetanusimpfung" erhalten hat ist auch gegen die anderen drei geimpft.

"In Dänemark geht wohl grad ne Keuchhustenepidemie rum.
Seht zu, dass eure Kinder geimpft sind, bei der Gelegenheit könnt ihr auch ne Auffrischung einsacken. Der Impfschutz hält nicht lebenslang."

“But Alberta Health data shows #immunization rates have dropped dramatically in recent years, with 58 per cent of children in the south zone up-to-date on their #pertussis #vaccine doses by the age of two in 2022, compared to 76 per cent in 2008.

The provincial average, which has also declined, sat at 71 per cent last year.”

“Seven children, including six in the south zone and one in central #Alberta, have been #hospitalized.”

Fine, now once again vaccinated for #tetanus, #diphtheria, and whooping cough (#pertussis) for another 10 years. Alas, they don't have a #vaccine for stupidity.

Nasal #vaccines for #pertussis

📌Natural infection with Bordetella pertussis induces mucosal antibodies and T cells.

📌Current pertussis vaccines do not promote mucosal immunity against nasal infection.

📌Live-attenuated pertussis vaccines induce protective mucosal immunity.

📌Nasal pertussis subunit vaccines with adjuvants induce protective mucosal immunity.

Childhood immunization rates against whooping cough have been on a sharp decline in recent years in the area where the outbreak originated back in January.

The whooping-cough outbreak that had been somewhat isolated in southern Alberta has now spread to major cities, including Medicine Hat and Lethbridge.

📌Tdap vaccination in pregnancy between 27 and 36 weeks’ gestation is highly effective at protecting young infants from pertussis.

Assessment of #Pertussis Underreporting in 🇮🇹

The estimated rate of pertussis infections based on seroprevalence was approximately 141-fold and 3452-fold higher than the reported incidence in the 6–14 age group and in the ≥15 age group, respectively. Quantification of underreporting can allow for the burden of pertussis, as well as the impact of ongoing vaccination, to be better evaluated.

“I don't know that everyone appreciates that pertussis is in the top 10 causes of death for children worldwide,”

“We have a great vaccine… It's not great enough.”

Anyone who read a single page about the scourge of #pertussis in the 1930s would never advocate a return to the pre-vaccine era. Prenatal #vaccination protects both the pregnant person and the fetus from many infections that can maim or kill.
