HCP are at risk for being exposed to pertussis in inpatient and outpatient pediatric facilities ,,, and in adult health-care facilities and settings including emergency departments ,, A retrospective study conducted in a Massachusetts tertiary-care center with medical, surgical, pediatric, and obstetrical services during October September documented pertussis in 20 patients and three HCP, and pertussis exposure in approximately HCP One infected HCP exposed other persons, including co-workers and patients in a postanesthesia care unit.
Despite aggressive investigation and prophylaxis, a patient and the HCP's spouse were infected In a California university hospital with pediatric services, 25 patients exposed 27 HCP over a 5-year period A Philadelphia children's hospital that tracked exposures during September April identified seven patients who exposed unprotected HCP The exposed HCP included nurses, physicians, 42 radiology technicians, 29 respiratory therapists, and 15 others. Recent estimates suggest that up to nine HCP are exposed on average for each case of pertussis with delayed diagnosis Serologic studies among hospital staff suggest B.
The seroprevalence of pertussis agglutinating antibodies among HCPs in one hospital outbreak correlated with the degree of patient contact. Pediatric house staff and ward nurses were times more likely to have B. In another study, the annual incidence of B. The risk for pertussis among HCP relative to the general population was estimated in a Quebec study of adult and adolescent pertussis. Pertussis among HCP was 1.
Similar studies have not been conducted in the United States. Pertussis outbreaks are reported from chronic-care or nursing home facilities and in residential-care institutions; these HCP might be at increased risk for pertussis. However, the risk for pertussis among HCP in these settings compared with the general population has not been evaluated Investigation and control measures to prevent pertussis after unprotected exposure in health-care settings are labor intensive, disruptive, and costly, particularly when the number of exposed contacts is large Such measures include identifying contacts among HCP and patients, providing postexposure prophylaxis for asymptomatic close contacts, and evaluating, treating, and placing symptomatic HCP on administrative leave until they have received effective treatment.
Despite the effectiveness of control measures to prevent further transmission of pertussis, one or more cycle of transmission with exposures and secondary cases can occur before pertussis is recognized.
This might occur regardless of whether the source case is a patient or HCP, the age of the source case, or the setting e. The number of reported outbreak-related secondary cases ranges from none to approximately 80 per index case and includes other HCP , adults , and pediatric patients Secondary cases among infants have resulted in prolonged hospital stay, mechanical ventilation , or death The cost of controlling nosocomial pertussis is high, regardless of the size of the outbreak.
The impact of pertussis on productivity can be substantial, even when no secondary case of pertussis occurs. By vaccinating HCP with Tdap and reducing the number of cases of pertussis among HCP, hospitals will reduce the costs associated with resource-intensive hospital investigations and control measures e.
These costs can be substantial. Vaccinating HCP could be cost-beneficial for health-care facilities if vaccination reduces nosocomial infections and outbreaks, decreases transmission, and prevents secondary cases. These cost savings would be realized even with no change in the guidelines for investigation and control measures. A model to estimate the cost of vaccinating HCP and the net return from preventing nosocomial pertussis was constructed using probabilistic methods and a hypothetical cohort of 1, HCP followed for 10 years.
Data from the literature were used to determine baseline assumptions. For each year, the number of nosocomial pertussis exposures requiring investigation and control interventions was calculated for two scenarios: with or without a vaccination program for HCP having direct patient contact.
In the absence of vaccination, approximately range: nosocomial exposures would occur per 1, HCP annually. The vaccination program would prevent 93 range: annual nosocomial pertussis exposures per 1, HCP per year. Infrastructure for screening, administering, and tracking vaccinations exists at occupational health or infection prevention and control departments in most hospitals and is expected to provide the infrastructure to implement Tdap vaccination programs.
New personnel can be screened and vaccinated with Tdap when they begin employment. As Tdap vaccination coverage in the general population increases, many new HCP will have already received a dose of Tdap.
To achieve optimal Tdap coverage among personnel in health-care settings, health-care facilities are encouraged to use strategies that have enhanced HCP participation in other hospital vaccination campaigns.
Successful strategies for hospital influenza vaccine campaigns have included strong proactive educational programs designed at appropriate educational and language levels for the targeted HCP, vaccination clinics in areas convenient to HCP, vaccination at worksites, and provision of vaccine at no cost to the HCP Purchase and administration of Tdap for HCP is an added financial and operational burden for health-care facilities.
A cost-benefit model suggests that the cost of a Tdap vaccination program for HCP is offset by reductions in investigation and control measures for pertussis exposures from HCP, in addition to the anticipated enhancement of HCP and patient safety Health-care facilities could realize substantial cost-saving if exposed HCP who are already vaccinated against pertussis with Tdap were exempt from control interventions The guidelines for control of pertussis in health-care settings were developed before pertussis vaccine Tdap was available for adults 68, Studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of Tdap to prevent pertussis in vaccinated HCP, the duration of protection, and the effectiveness of Tdap in preventing infected vaccinated HCP from transmitting B.
Until studies define the optimal management of exposed vaccinated HCP or a consensus of experts is developed, health-care facilities should continue postexposure prophylaxis for vaccinated HCP who have unprotected exposure to pertussis. Alternatively, each health-care facility can determine an appropriate strategy for managing exposed vaccinated HCP on the basis of available human and fiscal resources and whether the patient population served is at risk for severe pertussis if transmission were to occur from an unrecognized case in a vaccinated HCP.
Some health-care facilities might have infrastructure to provide daily monitoring of exposed vaccinated HCP for early symptoms of pertussis and for instituting prompt assessment, treatment, and administrative leave if early signs or symptoms of pertussis develop.
Daily monitoring of HCP days before beginning each work shift has been successful for vaccinated workers exposed to varicella , and for monitoring the site of vaccinia smallpox vaccine inoculation , Daily monitoring of pertussis-exposed HCP who received Tdap might be a reasonable strategy for postexposure management, because the incubation period of pertussis is up to 21 days and the minimal risk for transmission before the onset of signs and symptoms of pertussis.
In considering this approach, hospitals should maximize efforts to prevent transmission of B. Additional study is needed to determine the effectiveness of this control strategy. Tdap is licensed for a single use only; prelicensure studies on the safety or efficacy of subsequent doses were not conducted. After receipt of a single dose of Tdap, subsequent doses of tetanus- and diphtheria toxoid-containing vaccines should follow guidance from previously published recommendations for the use of Td and TT Adults should receive a decennial booster with Td beginning 10 years after receipt of Tdap Routine Tdap Vaccination.
Replacing 1 dose of Td with Tdap will reduce the morbidity associated with pertussis in adults and might reduce the risk for transmitting pertussis to persons at increased risk for pertussis and its complications.
The safety of an interval as short as approximately 2 years between Td and Tdap is supported by a Canadian study; shorter intervals may be used see Safety Considerations for Adult Vaccination with Tdap.
For adults who require tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine as part of wound management, a single dose of Tdap is preferred to Td if they have not previously received Tdap see Tetanus Prophylaxis in Wound Management.
Ideally, these adults should receive Tdap at least 2 weeks before beginning close contact with the infant. An interval as short as 2 years from the last dose of Td is suggested to reduce the risk for local and systemic reactions after vaccination; shorter intervals may be used. Young infants have the highest risk for death.
Vaccinating adult contacts might reduce the risk for transmitting pertussis to these infants see Infant Pertussis and Transmission to Infants. Infants should be vaccinated on-time with pediatric DTaP 1 , Approximately half of all pregnancies in the United States are unplanned Any woman of childbearing age who might become pregnant is encouraged to receive a single dose of Tdap if she has not previously received Tdap see Vaccination During Pregnancy.
Women, including those who are breastfeeding, should receive a dose of Tdap in the immediate postpartum period if they have not previously received Tdap. The postpartum Tdap should be administered before discharge from the hospital or birthing center. If Tdap cannot be administered before discharge, it should be administered as soon as feasible. Although Td booster doses are routinely recommended at an interval of 10 years, an interval as short as 2 years from the last dose of Td is recommended for the Tdap dose among these HCP.
These HCP include but are not limited to physicians, other primary-care providers, nurses, aides, respiratory therapists, radiology technicians, students e.
Other HCP i. They are encouraged to receive the Tdap dose at an interval as short as 2 years following the last Td. Vaccinating HCP with Tdap will protect them against pertussis and is expected to reduce transmission to patients, other HCP, household members, and persons in the community. Hospitals and ambulatory-care facilities should provide Tdap for HCP and use approaches that maximize vaccination rates e. Tdap is not licensed for multiple administrations. After receipt of Tdap, HCP should receive Td or TT for booster immunization against tetanus and diphtheria according to previously published guidelines Routine adult Tdap vaccination recommendations are supported by evidence from randomized controlled clinical trials, a nonrandomized open-label trial, observational studies, and expert opinion Table The dose of Tdap is 0.
If two or more vaccines are indicated, they should be administered during the same visit i. Each vaccine should be administered using a separate syringe at a different anatomic site. Certain experts recommend administering no more than two injections per muscle, separated by at least 1 inch.
Administering all indicated vaccines during a single visit increases the likelihood that adults will receive recommended vaccinations The potential for administration errors involving tetanus toxoid-containing vaccines and other vaccines is well documented Pediatric DTaP vaccine formulations should not be administered to adults. Attention to proper vaccination technique, including use of an appropriate needle length and standard routes of administration i.
Health-care providers who administer vaccines are required to keep permanent vaccination records of vaccines covered under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Act; ACIP has recommended that this practice include all vaccines Encouraging adults to maintain a personal vaccination record is important to minimize administration of unnecessary vaccinations.
Vaccine providers can record the type of the vaccine, manufacturer, anatomic site, route, and date of administration and name of the administering facility on the personal record. Contraindications and Precautions for Use of Tdap. Contraindications Tdap is contraindicated for persons with a history of serious allergic reaction i. Because of the importance of tetanus vaccination, persons with a history of anaphylaxis to components included in any Tdap or Td vaccines should be referred to an allergist to determine whether they have a specific allergy to tetanus toxoid and can safely receive tetanus toxoid TT vaccinations.
Tdap is contraindicated for adults with a history of encephalopathy e. This contraindication is for the pertussis components, and these persons should receive Td instead of Tdap. A precaution is a condition in a vaccine recipient that might increase the risk for a serious adverse reaction The following are precautions for Tdap administration. In these situations, vaccine providers should evaluate the risks for and benefits of administering Tdap.
If a decision is made to continue vaccination with tetanus toxoid, Tdap is preferred to Td if otherwise indicated. Defer Tdap vaccination until the acute illness resolves. Vaccine providers should review the patient's medical history to verify the diagnosis of Arthus reaction and can consult with an allergist or immunologist. If the Arthus reaction was associated with a vaccine that contained diphtheria toxoid without tetanus toxoid e.
The following conditions are not contraindications or precautions for Tdap, and adults with these conditions may receive a dose of Tdap if otherwise indicated. Special Situations for Tdap Use. Postexposure chemoprophylaxis and other pertussis control guidelines, including guidelines for HCP, are described elsewhere see Management of Exposed Persons in Settings with Nosocomial Pertussis , , The benefit of using a short interval also might be increased for adults with co-morbid medical conditions see Clinical Features and Morbidity Among Adults with Pertussis.
Adults who have a history of pertussis generally should receive Tdap according to the routine recommendation. This practice is preferred because the duration of protection induced by pertussis is unknown waning might begin as early as 7 years after infection [ 7 ] and because the diagnosis of pertussis can be difficult to confirm, particularly with tests other than culture for B.
Administering pertussis vaccine to persons with a history of pertussis presents no theoretical safety concern. ACIP has recommended administering tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine and tetanus immune globulin TIG as part of standard wound management to prevent tetanus Table 14 For adults previously vaccinated with Tdap, Td should be used if a tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine is indicated for wound care.
An attempt must be made to determine whether a patient has completed the 3-dose primary tetanus vaccination series. Persons with unknown or uncertain previous tetanus vaccination histories should be considered to have had no previous tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine. Persons who have not completed the primary series might require tetanus toxoid and passive vaccination with TIG at the time of wound management Table When both TIG and a tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine are indicated, each product should be administered using a separate syringe at different anatomic sites.
In all circumstances, the decision to administer TIG is based on the primary vaccination history for tetanus Table However, Tdap can substitute for any one of the doses of Td in the 3-dose primary series. Alternatively, in situations in which the adult probably received vaccination against tetanus and diphtheria but cannot produce a record, vaccine providers may consider serologic testing for antibodies to tetanus and diphtheria toxin to avoid unnecessary vaccination.
A single dose of Tdap can be used in the series. Inactivated vaccines may be administered at any time before or after a different inactivated or live vaccine, unless a contraindication exists If simultaneous vaccination is not feasible e. It is possible that persons who recently received one diphtheria toxoid-containing vaccine might have increased rates for adverse reactions after a subsequent diphtheria-containing vaccine when diphtheria toxoid antibody titers remain elevated from the previous vaccination see Safety Considerations for Adult Vaccination with Tdap.
The patient should be informed of any inadvertent vaccine administration. Both Tdap products are licensed for active booster immunization as a single dose; neither are licensed for multiple administrations. After receipt of Tdap, persons should receive Td for booster immunization against tetanus and diphtheria, according to previously published guidelines If a dose of Tdap is administered to a person who has previously received Tdap, this dose should count as the next dose of tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine.
Recommendations for pregnant women will be published separately As with other inactivated vaccines and toxoids, pregnancy is not considered a contraindication for Tdap vaccination Pregnant women who received the last tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine during the preceding 10 years and who have not previously received Tdap generally should receive Tdap after delivery.
In situations in which booster protection against tetanus and diphtheria is indicated in pregnant women, the ACIP generally recommends Td. Providers should refer to recommendations for pregnant women for further information , Because of lack of data on the use of Tdap in pregnant women, sanofi pasteur has established a pregnancy registry.
Reporting of Adverse Events After Vaccination. As with any newly licensed vaccine, surveillance for rare adverse events associated with administration of Tdap is important for assessing its safety in large-scale use. All clinically significant adverse events should be reported to VAERS, even if causal relation to vaccination is not apparent.
Vaccine Injury Compensation. VICP, established by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of , is a system under which compensation can be paid on behalf of a person thought to have been injured or to have died as a result of receiving a vaccine covered by the program. The program is intended as an alternative to civil litigation under the traditional tort system because negligence need not be proven. The Act establishes 1 a Vaccine Injury Compensation Table that lists the vaccines covered by the program; 2 the injuries, disabilities, and conditions including death for which compensation can be paid without proof of causation; and 3 the period after vaccination during which the first symptom or substantial aggravation of the injury must appear.
Persons can be compensated for an injury listed in the established table or one that can be demonstrated to result from administration of a listed vaccine.
All tetanus toxoid-containing vaccines and vaccines with pertussis components e. With recent licensure and introduction of Tdap for adults, close monitoring of pertussis trends and vaccine safety will be priorities for public health organizations and health-care providers.
Active surveillance sites in Massachusetts and Minnesota, supported by CDC, are being established to provide additional data on the burden of pertussis among adults and the impact of adult Tdap vaccination policy.
Postlicensure studies and surveillance activities are planned or underway to evaluate changes in the incidence of pertussis, the uptake of Tdap, and the duration and effectiveness of Tdap vaccine.

Adolescents and young adults became an important reservoir due to waning immunity , posing a threat of transferring infection to the main risk group - young infants. Consequently, many countries implemented booster doses of pertussis-containing-vaccine in children and adolescents. The US study1 demonstrated an increase in pertussis incidence in adolescents, vs.
Indirect effects were not observed among infants younger than one year. Similar findings on the adolescents' Tdap vaccination effects were reported from Canada. In Israel, due to the resurgence of pertussis, two vaccine doses for schoolchildren were added to the routine schedule.
In a 5th dose dTap was introduced for second-graders aged y , and in an additional dose for eighth-graders aged y. We investigated the pertussis epidemiology in the Jerusalem district from - Infants under one year had the highest incidence rate From , the two age groups showing significant declines were children aged Indeed, after an additional decline in , we witnessed an upsurge in pertussis in , especially in young infants.
While the additional pertussis vaccine doses in adolescents are reported to reduce disease burden in this group, the goal of protecting the young infants was not attained. Our interpretation is that a state of "age- limited herd immunity" was generated. Additional approaches should focus on protecting young infants in their immediate surroundings, combining sustainable immunization coverage in infants, toddlers, children, adolescents and young adults.
We suggest a cocooning strategy, with special attention being paid to mothers-to-be and families, using vaccination in pregnancy and around the period of an expected new baby.
