Article Synopsis
- Brazil introduced the ten-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10) in 2010, and a study examined its long-term impact on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in Salvador, Bahia, over 11 years.
- The study involved monitoring IPD rates across different age groups and time periods after vaccination, revealing an initial rise in incidence followed by a significant decline, especially among young children and older adults.
- Findings indicate that the introduction of PCV10 led to significant reductions in both vaccine-type and non-vaccine-type IPD, demonstrating the vaccine's effectiveness in providing both direct and indirect protection.*
