Using age-stratified incidence data to examine the transmission consequences of pertussis vaccination

Highlights • Analyzed age-structured case notification data of pertussis in Thailand • Observed substantial decreases in incidence in all age classes following increased vaccine uptake. • Used mathematical models to demonstrate the changes in age-structure are likely a result of reduced transmission...
