Eradication is absolutely possible. High enough vaccination rates would help prevent further evolution of viruses, eventually containing them and then removing them provided there aren't alternative vectors like animals or pets.

Unfortunately, certain other efforts are compromising this.

It's not at all clear the pertussis vaccine creates a strong and lasting immunity enough to be an eradication target.

Honestly, it's not one of the more promising eradication targets.
