[Prevention of pertussis in newborns: Should pregnant women be vaccinated at each pregnancy?].

Pertussis is a respiratory disease that can be fatal at all ages but especially in infants before their mandatory vaccination. Recent epidemiological data shows a decrease in the number of pertussis cases, but a resurgence cannot be excluded in the coming years due to the cyclic evolution of the disease and the loosening of hygiene measures. ⋯ The vaccination of the mother during pregnancy is more effective. The uncertain risk of chorioamniotitis associated with vaccination during pregnancy is insufficient to question this strategy.

AbstractPertussis is a respiratory disease that can be fatal at all ages but especially in infants before their mandatory vaccination. Recent epidemiological data shows a decrease in the number of pertussis cases, but a resurgence cannot be excluded in the coming years due to the cyclic evolution of the disease and the loosening of hygiene measures. Two approaches are used to protect infants before their vaccination: vaccination of the mother during pregnancy and vaccination of all the infant's close relatives (cocooning). The vaccination of the mother during pregnancy is more effective. The uncertain risk of chorioamniotitis associated with vaccination during pregnancy is insufficient to question this strategy.Copyright © 2023 Société Nationale Française de Médecine Interne (SNFMI).
