4 Pertussis Whooping cough Starts with a mild URI without fever (Catarrhal stage), then Paroxysmal Cough, Whoop, Post- Tussive Emesis for >2-3 weeks. Affects infants, children, adolescents, adults ~48.5 million cases per year worldwide ~ 295,000 deaths Infants < 6 mo have the highest attack rate, morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis often delayed.

12 Pertussis in Texas DSHS reported 3,986 pertussis cases in The annual total surpassed the recent high of 3,358 cases in There were 5 pertussis-related deaths in 2013; All infants too young to be vaccinated and none of the mothers were vaccinated with Tdap during pregnancy. From , a total of 48 deaths were attributed to pertussis In 2014, 2,045 cases have been reported as of Nov 3, 2014; 2 deaths (< 3 months, unvaccinated mother; teen with comorbidities); and a 11% hospitalization rate (80% < 1 year old) Page 12 xxx00.#####.ppt 1/23/2015 2:18:06 PM

24 Antibodies post Tdap Rapidly decline in first 1-2 years Slower decline over 5-10 years Close to pre-vaccination at 10 years Note: No defined level of antibody correlates absolutely with protection! Increase in disease after ~5 years correlates with decrease in antibody concentrations Page 24 xxx00.#####.ppt 1/23/2015 2:18:13 PM

30 Summary: Immune responses to Pertussis vaccines DTaP and Tdap yield high specific antibody titers after imm Whole cell and acelllular vaccines elicit different priming response: DTwP (and natural infection) produce Th1 cytokine response DTaP elicit mixed Th1/Th2 responses, skewed toward Th2, at 6 months and probably until the 5 th dose Immunity and protection wane faster than anticipated (3-5 y) Data not supportive for change in schedule (more doses) in adults (HCP) Ausiello CM et al.

31 Current Pertussis Prevention Strategies On time and on schedule vaccination Improve coverage in adults, including HCP Maternal Immunization Recommended since 2012 coverage remains low ~16-18% in US Recommended in UK, Australia, other countries based on epidemiology Most direct and effective method to protect infants against pertussis Page 31 xxx00.#####.ppt 1/23/2015 2:18:19 PM

33 Maternal Immunization with Tdap Study Maternal immunization with Tdap* is safe and will boost maternal antibodies to pertussis antigens, which can be efficiently transferred transplacentally Infants born to mothers vaccinated during pregnancy will have higher concentrations of pertussis specific antibodies that could protect them during the first 2 months of life, a period of vulnerability, high morbidity and mortality Maternal immunization with Tdap should NOT interfere with infant responses to primary and booster vaccination with DTaP** *Adacel (SP) contains PT (2.5 ug), FHA (5 ug), PRN (3 ug), FIM 1-2 (5 ug), DT (2LfU) and TT (5LfU) **Pentace l (SP) contains PT, FHA, PRN, FIM1, FIM2, Tetanus and Diphtheria Toxoids / Hib / IPV Page 33 xxx00.#####.ppt 1/23/2015 2:18:20 PM

45 Donegan K, et al, UK Tdap Safety in Pregnancy Observational cohort study UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink Pop: 20,074 pregnant women with a median age of 30 yr who received Tdap-IPV (SP) in the 3 rd trimester (28-38 wk) since October 2012 and a matched historical unvaccinated control group Primary Outcome: Adverse events identified from clinical diagnoses during pregnancy with additional data from the matched child record identified through mother-child linkage. The primary event of interest was stillbirth (Def: intrauterine death after 24 weeks gestation). Donegan K, et al. BMJ 2014;349:g4219 Page 45 xxx00.#####.ppt 1/23/2015 2:18:30 PM

46 Tdap Safety in Pregnancy There was no increased risk of stillbirth in the 14 days after vaccination (incidence rate ratio 0.69, 95% CI 0.23 to 1.62) or later in pregnancy (0.85, 0.44 to 1.61) compared with historical national rates. There was no evidence that vaccination accelerated the time to delivery (hazard ratio to 1.02) There was no evidence of an increased risk of stillbirth, maternal or neonatal death, pre-eclampsia or eclampsia, hemorrhage, fetal distress, uterine rupture, placenta or vasa praevia, Cesarean delivery, low birth weight, or neonatal renal failure, all serious events that can occur naturally in pregnancy. Congenital anomalies not sought (registries). UK Yellow Card no increase in pregnancy complications Donegan K, et al. BMJ 2014;349:g4219 Page 46 xxx00.#####.ppt 1/23/2015 2:18:33 PM

53 Summary Childhood and adolescent Pertussis disease has increased despite high DTaP and Tdap coverage and effective vaccines (vaccines do protect!) Pertussis epidemiology changed since switch to less reactogenic acellular pertussis vaccines Factors involved: Rapidely waning immunity, awareness and improved diagnostic methods, unvaccinated groups, incomplete reservoir elimination (adults, close contacts, HCW), changes in pathogen? Potential Solutions: Short term: Maternal immunization to protect most vulnerable infants, Tdap vaccination of adolescents and adults; Improved coverage and On Time vaccination Long term: Need new pertussis vaccines!
