Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(2):167-172.   Published online February 15, 1997
Purpose : The pertussis vaccines are divided into whole-cell vaccine and acellular vaccine. Purified component acellular pertussis vaccine, originally developed in Japan, has been used for primary immunization series in Korea since 1984. We performed this study to evaluate the prevalence of pertussis antibodies following vaccination with acellular pertussis vaccine. Methods : We randomized 80 children who were immunized according to vaccine schedules...
