Summary

Young children need to get all 4 doses of the DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis) vaccine. But since the 1980s, the number of pertussis cases has increased in the United States. Partnerships between community organizations, local governments, and vaccination providers are key to increasing DTaP vaccination rates in young children.
