Pertussis prevention strategies are essential for school-age populations, especially during epidemics.
The analysis examined epidemic cases and individual cases of pertussis in the Chungcheong region.
Surveillance data provides insights into the demographics affected by pertussis, including gender differences.
Improving education and outreach targeting school-age populations may enhance pertussis prevention efforts.
