Abstract
Pertussis is increasingly recognized as a disease that affects older children and adults, including fully vaccinated persons. This report describes a statewide outbreak of pertussis in Vermont (1995 population: 584,771) in 1996 in a highly vaccinated population, affecting primarily school-aged children and adults, and underscores the need to include pertussis in the differential diagnosis of cough illness in persons of all ages.Entities:
