Direct side-by-side efficacy studies of whole-cell vaccine and the recently licensed acellular vaccine will be necessary to assure that comparable protection is afforded by the new vaccines if they are to be used for immunization of infants.

To effectively control pertussis in the world, all countries should use available pertussi vaccines in immunization programmes for children and all efforts should be directed to increase or maintain high immunization coverage with DPT immunization at the level of at least 90% in all districts.
Epidemiology of pertussis in a developed country with low vaccination coverage: the Italian experience.

Trends and characteristics of Italian children with pertussis are examined and the low vaccine coverage appears to be caused by the ambivalence of the Italian pediatric community about the vaccine rather than parental concerns about vaccine safety.

Though the recent decrease of the vaccine acceptance rate was due to the public reaction to rather imbalaanced arguments concerning the vaccine risk, it is also true that a more potent and less toxic component vaccine is urgently needed at this moment.

The two acellular DTP vaccines studied were safe, immunogenic, and efficacious against pertussis, whereas the efficacy of the whole-cell DTP vaccine was unexpectedly low.
DT vaccine in place of DTP vaccine for children

The data indicate that the rate of DT administration is perhaps four to five times higher than it should be, and that there are concentrations of high rates ofDT administration within specific municipalities, which results in geographically clustered populations of children who have inadequate pertussis protection.

Immunization against pertussis was introduced compulsorily in 1953 with a combined diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine and since that time the method of preparation, quality and quantity of the vaccine as well as its immunization schedule underwent several important modifications.

If a further decline in the incidence of the disease is to be achieved, parents have to be persuaded of the benefits of pertussis vaccination, and changes in the vaccination schedule could have a major impact on the incidence.
