In Sweden in 1955, they began vaccinating for whooping cough (pertussis), well after the death rate had fallen to near zero. Examinations in 1978 showed that 84% of children who were verified to have pertussis had previously received three doses of vaccine. As a result, the whole-cell DTP vaccine was deemed ineffective. Combined with the concerns over its safety, the Swedish health ministry recommended the discontinuation of the whooping cough vaccination in 1979. From 1979 to 1996 (17 years), there was no national vaccination program. But there was no increase in deaths from whooping cough.
