Abstract
In China, during the 1960s and 1970s, the annual incidence of pertussis ranged from 100 to 200 cases per 100,000. Beginning in the 1960s, vaccination with the DPT vaccine was introduced, and by 1978, it had been incorporated into the national immunization program. Following the widespread use of the DPT vaccine, the incidence declined sharply. Since 2008, the reported national incidence of pertussis has been maintained below 0.5 cases per 100,000.
In China, with the exception of neonatal tetanus, tetanus in other population groups is not a legally notifiable infectious disease.
Since 2007, no cases of diphtheria have been reported nationwide.
