In 2023, the incidence of pertussis in Canada stood at 6.2 cases per hundred thousand persons. Forecast data from 2024 to 2028 shows a stable trend with the incidence consistently recorded at 6.3 cases per hundred thousand persons from 2024 to 2027. A minor uptick to 6.4 is anticipated in 2028.

The year-on-year percentage variation between 2024 and 2027 demonstrates a static trend, with no change expected until the subtle increase in 2028. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is negligible.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential public health interventions targeted at reducing pertussis incidence.
Changes in vaccination policies or coverage that could affect future incidence trends.
Possible factors such as changes in population immunity or pathogen evolution that might impact incidence rates.
