TI  - Pertussis epidemic--California, 2014.
PG  - 1129-32
AB  - On June 13, 2014, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) declared that 
      a pertussis epidemic was occurring in the state when reported incidence was more 
      than five times greater than baseline levels. The incidence of pertussis in the 
      United States is cyclical, with peaks every 3-5 years, as the number of 
      susceptible persons in the population increases. The last pertussis epidemic in 
      California occurred in 2010, when approximately 9,000 cases were reported, 
      including 808 hospitalizations and 10 infant deaths, for a statewide incidence of 
      24.6 cases per 100,000 population. During January 1-November 26, 2014, a total of 
      9,935 cases of pertussis with onset in 2014 were reported to CDPH, for a 
      statewide incidence of 26.0 cases per 100,000. CDPH is working closely with local 
      health departments to prioritize public health activities, with the primary goal 
      of preventing severe cases of pertussis, which typically occurs in infants. All 
      prenatal care providers are being encouraged to provide tetanus, diphtheria, and 
      acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) to pregnant women during each pregnancy, 
      ideally at 27-36 weeks' gestation, as is recommended by the Advisory Committee on 
      Immunization Practices (ACIP), or refer patients to an alternative provider, such 
      as a pharmacy or local public health department, to receive Tdap.
