Brief summary

The rates and patterns of adverse events following administration of Tdap during pregnancy (including the rates and patterns of any adverse pregnancy outcome, and the outcomes in infants up to one year of age), are similar to those where no vaccination during pregnancy occurred

Interventions

This is a two-component observational study that will collect data both retrospectively and prospectively. Data for all pregnant women and their infants in NZ between 2009 and 2013 will be obtained and pertussis vaccine exposure during pregnancy verified (Study One). A sub-study will actively follow mothers who received Tdap during pregnancy with one also following their infants for upto one year after birth (Study Two ).
