Recruitment of individuals primed during childhood with TdaP (tetanus, diphtheria , acellular pertussis) vaccine, and administration of an Adacel booster with blood sample collection at various time points before and after vaccination. Collection of blood sample volumes will be large enough to allow assessment and comparison of multiple assays that evaluate cell-mediated immune (CMI) responses and other biomarkers following the administration of pertussis vaccinations. The ultimate objective would be to utilize these validated assays for evaluation of pertussis clinical trial results or development of new pertussis vaccine formulations.
