Global disease burden and trends of pertussis in individuals under 20 years old: 1990–2021—insights from the global burden of disease study 2021
Our study provides valuable insights into the global pertussis burden among individuals under 20 years old. Despite overall improvements, significant variations exist. Our findings emphasize the need for sustained and improved vaccination strategies such as maternal immunization, improved coverage and timeliness, and better healthcare access, to further address these inequalities.
