Similarly, a retrospective cohort study of children born in the Isle of Wight (UK) between September 2001 and August 2002 (a period of shortage of wP) did not show an association either between the type of pertussis-containing vaccine received as a first dose, or the type of pertussis immunization schedule (i.e. wP-only doses versus at least one dose of aP in fully-vaccinated infants for pertussis antigens), and IgE-mediated food allergy, atopic dermatitis and asthma during a 10-year period of follow-up [17]. Here, IGHE is linked to pertussis.
