Posted: 5/21/2023 (CSDE Research)
CSDE Affiliate Jon Wakefield has published a new article in Epidemics entitled “Association between pertussis vaccination coverage and other sociodemographic factors and pertussis incidence using surveillance data“. The objective of this study was to characterize the association between pertussis vaccination coverage and sociodemographic factors and pertussis incidence at the school district level in King County, Washington, USA. The authors used monthly pertussis incidence data for all ages reported to the Public Health Seattle and King County between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2017 to obtain school district level pertussis incidence.
