Pertussis immunisation in infancy and atopic outcomes: A protocol for a population-based cohort study using linked administrative dataThe burden of IgE-mediated food allergy in Australian born children is reported to be among the highest globally. This illness shares risk factors and frequently coexists with asthma, one of the most common noncommunicable diseases of childhood.
