Abstract

Newborns and infants are at increased risk for whooping cough. Vaccination during pregnancy with the dTpa vaccine is a safe and effective strategy to protect newborns and infants against whooping cough through transfer of passive antibodies. Furthermore, this practice reduces the risk of infection and transmission by protecting pregnant mothers. The World Health Organization (WHO) endorses this strategy as the most cost-effective additional strategy, and it has been implemented in numerous countries.
