It was explained that doctors are also trying to improve the immunization schedules of the already-developed vaccines, in response to the development in certain diseases. It was explained that a booster dose of an improved DPT vaccine is now being recommended for teens and adults every 10 years, for preventing pertussis, or whooping cough, which has been on the rise since the 1980s and can often be fatal to the children.

Cooper said, 'We've recognized that we're seeing a gradual increase of whooping cough in this country, and realized this reflects the gradual waning of vaccinations given years before. He also said that another vaccination schedule advance might involve the expansion of the age range for children receiving influenza immunization. He explained that till recently the flu vaccination had been recommended for children between 6 months old and 2 years old. But now, doctors are recommending that children as old as 5 years of age get vaccinated for the flu, along with their parents and caretakers. This he explained is in recognition that not only do young kids get influenza, but that they are important in its spread.

Offit said about the new vaccination schedule, If we really do follow up on this recommendation, we'll go a long way toward eradicating whooping cough from this country,
