Abstrakt: Few data exist on asymptomatic carriage of Bordetellaspecies among populations receiving acellular pertussis vaccine. We conducted a cross-sectional study among acellular-vaccinated children presenting to an emergency department (ED). Bordetella pertussiscarriage prevalence was <1% in this population, a lower prevalence than that found in recent studies among whole-cell pertussis-vaccinated participants.Among children and adolescents who presented to an emergency department (ED) in Atlanta, Georgia, the prevalence of asymptomatic Bordetella pertussiscarriage was <1%.
