Possible reasons

Interruptions to routine immunization

The coverage of the third dose of the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP3) vaccine from 86% in 2019 to 81% in 2021, the lowest since 2008

PHSMs lead to a lack of immune stimulation in the population

As PHSMs relax, more susceptible individuals may result in pertussis levels approaching or even surpassing pre-pandemic levels

Macrolide-resistant strains of Bordetella pertussis

In 2020, a new type of macrolide-resistant pertussis bacterium containing the pxxP3 and prn2 genes emerged in Shanghai, China, and rapidly spread in the subsequent period, replacing the previous predominant strain.
