Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • B. pertussis still continues to circulate in the human population. • Better control of pertussis can be achieved by: • Broadening of vaccination strategies (e.g. pregnant women, neonates). • Improving vaccination practice (e.g. on-time adherence to vaccination schedules). • Development of new highly immunogenic and efficacious pertussis vaccines. • Human challenge studies are a way forward to study infection and vaccination.
