Immune interference (blunting) in the context of maternal immunization with Tdap-containing vaccines: is it a class effect?

This review indicates that the phenomenon of blunting does not depend on the manufacturer/brand of the pertussis-containing vaccines used for immunizing mothers or children. Currently, there is no epidemiological evidence that children whose mothers received Tdap are at increased risk of pertussis after pediatric vaccinations, although longer follow-up is required.
