We calculated the effectiveness of pertussis vaccine in preventing parapertussis among Oregon children 2 months to 10 years of age using 2 methods. During 2011-2016, the 2 VE methods found 66% (95% CI, 59-75%) and 82% (95% CI, 69-90%) effectiveness against parapertussis. Pertussis vaccine may induce cross-immunity.
