Pertussis Summary – “It’s Complicated!” Pertussis incidence has increased since 1980s Resurgence of childhood disease despite high DTaP coverage Excellent initial vaccine effectiveness Moderate and immediate waning of immunity Re-emergence of adolescent disease Tdap effectiveness about 70% 1, 2 , duration of protection unknown Tdap boost in DTaP recipients may wane more quickly 3 Switch to aP vaccines is changing pertussis epidemiology i.e. a problem of susceptibility despite vaccination Waning immunity driving disease incidence 1 Clin Infect Dis. 2010 Aug 1;51(3):315-21. 2 Ped Infect Dis J 2009;28(2):152-153. 3 CDC.

Maximizing the Vaccination Program • Sustaining DTaP coverage • Increasing Tdap coverage • Vaccinating to protect infants

Interpretation of HPV Uptake Situation Plateau in HPV uptake in girls is persisting Provider “ hesitancy ” (voicing weak recommendations) “Won’t go to the mat for this one” Possible reasons: haven’t bought in to rationale for 11 -12 yr timing, cost, competing priorities, communication skills Parental attitudes appear open to influence of providers – which requires clinicians to be convinced , confident and communicating effectively System interventions (e.g., HEDIS, AFIX) won’t succeed without clinician commitment
