Article Synopsis
- Infections, particularly invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPDs), pose significant health risks in Jordan, and current data highlights the absence of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) in the national vaccination program.
- A study involving 1,015 pediatric patients identified the prevalence of common pneumococcal serotypes, with notable findings including a high PCR positivity rate and identified serotypes such as 6B and 14.
- This research underscores the urgent need to introduce PCVs in Jordan's vaccination schedule, as it provides critical data on prevalent serotypes to guide vaccine selection.
