Vaccine-preventable diseases have many social and economic costs, such as adolescents missing school and parents losing time from work. These diseases also result in doctor's visits, hospitalizations, and even premature deaths. Despite early vaccination measures, Pertussis is the only vaccine-preventable disease that is currently on the rise. A better understanding of current and future vaccination schedules is critical for clinicians to effectively immunize adolescents against such vaccine-preventable diseases.
