Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: maternal pertussis vaccination during pregnancy in Spain decreased disease severity in infants younger than two months compared to those between 3 and 11 months old. It is necessary to increase health professional education about the importance of maternal immunization.

Reviewers´ commentary: despite the weaknesses and the low level of evidence in this study, pertussis maternal immunization in the third trimester of pregnancy decreases hospitalizations and length of hospital stay in infants younger than two months old. These data reinforce the importance of educating healthcare professionals attending pregnant women to increase immunization coverage.
