Article Synopsis
- Some moms got a pertussis vaccine while pregnant, and it might affect how their babies respond to vaccinations later on.
- Researchers studied toddlers who got their booster shots to see if the vaccine made a difference in their immune response.
- After the booster, both groups did well, but toddlers who didn't get the mom's vaccine showed higher levels of certain antibodies.*
Coarctation of the aorta in neonates can manifest as heart failure when there is a certain degree of obstruction. There are some situations that can simulate a coarctation of the aorta in newborns. Diagnosis of coarctation of the aorta based solely on the typical aortic arch image on echocardiography can be misleading and delay an accurate diagnosis.

Background: Pertussis immunization during pregnancy results in high pertussis antibody concentrations in young infants but may interfere with infant immune responses to post-natal immunization.
Methods: This phase IV, multi-country, open-label study assessed the immunogenicity and safety of infant primary vaccination with DTaP-HepB-IPV/Hib and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13). Enrolled infants (6-14 weeks old) were born to mothers who were randomized to receive reduced-antigen-content diphtheria-tetanus-three-component acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap group) or placebo (control group) during pregnancy (27-36 weeks' gestation) with crossover immunization postpartum.
