Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Symposium

November 12 - 14, 2000
Bethesda, Maryland

Agenda

Purpose: This meeting will present data from acellular pertussis studies. Participants will discuss new public health issues about the use of this vaccine (e.g. the use in other age groups and populations) based on current clinical trials information.

Meeting Goals: 1) Evaluate safety and effectiveness of different acellular pertussis vaccines in specific populations; 2) Examine alternatives to existing schedules; and 3) Evaluate the duration of immunity and efficacy following a primary series.

    Roundtable Discussion and Policy Issues, Participants to be Confirmed

    Is there a need for five doses of acellular pertussis vaccine prior to school entry in the United States? What is the optimal childhood schedule? What are the consequences of adding or dropping a dose? What factors need to be considered when changing the schedule?

    Is there a need for an adolescent and/or an adult dose? What are the concerns?

    Is it possible to adopt a universal schedule for developed and developing countries?

    What are the problems associated with the use of acellular vaccines as part of a combination vaccine package (i.e., need for a toddler HIV booster, immunogenicity problems, constraints imposed by combination products in countries that do not provide four doses of pertussis vaccines during the first two years of life)?

    Are all acellular pertussis vaccines equal or do some offer specific advantages with regard to controlling infection and immunization strategies?

    Will the use of adolescent/adult boosters change the epidemiology of pertussis disease?
