Asymptomatic Carriers of Whooping Cough

Interesting:
Vaccinated against whooping cough, BUT still an infectious carrier

My Q: How often does this happen with other diseases? ( Puts a whole different perspective on disease control and vaccination effectiveness....cures the host, but leaves diseases active to be transmitted later)
