Story at-a-glance
More than 94 percent of kindergarten children have had four to five pertussis-containing vaccines, yet despite high vaccine coverage since the late 1980s, statistics show that reported cases of whooping cough have been rising for decades
A recent scientific review has concluded the less toxic acellular whooping cough vaccine licensed in the U.S. for infants in 1996 does not work as expected, and confirms the continued spread of the disease among vaccinated populations
For nearly two decades, scientists have published evidence showing the ineffectiveness of both whole cell pertussis vaccine in DPT and acellular pertussis vaccine in DTaP/Tdap
The B. pertussis organism began evolving to evade whole cell pertussis vaccines in the 1950s soon after DPT was introduced and became widely used in the late 1940s
“Cocooning,” where Tdap is given to household contacts of a newborn to prevent whooping cough in the infant has been proven grossly ineffective, and this further supports the finding that whooping cough vaccines fail to block transmission of disease
