Correlation analysis between positivity rate of immunoglobulin G antibodies against pertussis toxin among community-based populations and reported pertussis incidence in Shandong, China: a seven-year seroepidemiological study

Therefore there is a need to emphasize surveillance and consider additional booster immunizations for adolescents and adults.
