Pertussis - Annual Epidemiological Report 2015

Surveillance report
Time period covered: This report is based on data for 2015 retrieved from The European Surveillance System (TESSy) on 26 October 2016.

For 2015, 40 195 (36 235 confirmed) cases of pertussis were reported by 29 EU/EEA countries. France and Liechtenstein did not report in 2015 and were therefore not included in the analysis (Table 1, Figures 1 and 2). The EU/EEA notification rate was 9.0 per 100 000 population, similar to 2014 (Table 1).
