Abstract

Whooping cough is currently a topical infection among the adult population, including military personnel. In various countries of the world in the last decade, a steady increase in the incidence of whooping cough and large outbreaks of the disease in military groups have been recorded. The current situation has contributed to the introduction of a number of programs for the revaccination of adults at risk (medical workers, military personnel, teachers, people with immunodeficiency processes, etc.). The article discusses the current data on whooping cough among military personnel and how it can be prevented by the medical service of the Russian Armed Forces.
