Journal ArticleDOI
Duration of immunity against pertussis after natural infection or vaccination.
TL;DR: A review of the published data on duration of immunity reveals estimates that infection-acquired immunity against pertussis disease wanes after 4–20 years and protective immunity after vaccination wanesAfter 4–12 years.
