It aims to protect newborn infants from becoming infected with pertussis by administering DTaP tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis booster vaccine to mothers, family members and any individuals who would come into regular contact with the newborn infant. By vaccinating these individuals with a pertussis booster a pool of persons is established around the newborn who are themselves protected from getting pertussis and passing it on to the young infant, thereby creating a cocoon of protection around the newborn.

  1. Heterologous vaccine

    A heterologous vaccine is a type of live vaccine where one virus is introduced to provide protection against another virus. An example is the administration of vaccinia to provide protection against variola . Like all live vaccines, it has the advantage that it replicates in the body, and therefore reduces the need for booster shots. It has the disadvantage that a potential pathogen is introduced into the body. It can be combined with the attenuation strategy in vaccine design. ref name pmid17954727 cite journal author Ho SY, Chua SQ, Foo DG, et al. title Highly attenuated Bordetella pertussis strain BPZE1 as a potential live vehicle for delivery of heterologous vaccine candidates journal Infect.
