- Abstract
The article offers information on the analysis conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on tetanus and pertussis vaccination coverage among adults between 18 years old and above in 1999 and 2008. It briefly cites the recommendation of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) on the administration of the newly licensed tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine. It references data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). It points out that findings of the analysis support the 1988-1991 serologic data on tetanus immunity among U.S. residents.
