Pertussis cases rising in infants
Infant pertussis (whooping cough) cases are increasing nationally. According to the Tennessee Department of Health, rates increased from 85.3 per 100,000 (2024) to 148.3 per 100,000 (2025). Infants remain at highest risk of severe disease and hospitalization. 63% of hospitalized infants were unprotected, meaning no infant dose and no maternal Tdap during pregnancy.
What providers should do:
- Review and reinforce maternal vaccination practices during pregnancy to protect infants.
- Ensure timely administration of pertussis-containing vaccines for infants and children according to the recommended schedule.
- Maintain clinical vigilance for pertussis symptoms, promptly test suspected cases and provide treatment and post-exposure prophylaxis to all household members of confirmed cases.
