We report a record high pertussis epidemic in Denmark since August 2023. Highest incidence was in adolescents, while peak incidence in infants was lower vs previous epidemics in 2019 and 2016. Among infants aged 0-2 months, over half (29/48) were hospitalised and one infant died, underlining the disease severity in the youngest. To protect infants, pertussis vaccination in pregnant women was introduced in January 2024 in the national vaccination programme. Improved vaccination surveillance in pregnant women is being implemented.
我们报告了 2023 年 8 月以来丹麦百日咳疫情的最高纪录。发病率最高的是青少年,而与 2019 年和 2016 年的前几次疫情相比,婴儿的发病高峰较低。在 0-2 个月大的婴儿中,超过一半(29/48)住院,一名婴儿死亡,这突显了最年幼婴儿疾病的严重程度。为了保护婴儿,丹麦国家免疫计划将于 2024 年 1 月开始为孕妇接种百日咳疫苗。正在实施对孕妇疫苗接种的更完善的监测。
