Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of booster vaccination with acellular pertussis vaccine on colonization with Bordetella pertussis using a controlled human infection model in healthy volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Whether booster vaccination with Tdap-IPV reduces Bp colonisation after intranasal challenge with the standard Bp inoculum dose compared to the Td-IPV control group
* Compare Bp colonisatation in participants vaccinated with Tdap-IPV after intranasal challenge with the standard and a 'high' Bp inoculum dose

Research will compare Tdap-IPV vaccination - standard inoculum dose with Td-IPV vaccination - standard inoculum dose, and Tdap-IPV vaccination - standard inoculum dose with Tdap-IPV vaccination - high inoculum dose to see how Tdap-IPV vaccination and the high inoculum dose have an effect on colonisation rate.

Participants will be vaccinated with Tdap-IPV or Td-IPV and 2-4 months later challenged with the standard or 'high' inoculum. After challenge there is a follow up visit for 28 days in which they fill in a daily symptom diary and have 6 visits to the hospital.
