Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the risk factors and clinical outcomes of Thai children hospitalized for pneumococcal disease over a nine-year period from 2010 to 2019.
- A total of 413 cases were documented, with 319 having invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and 94 with non-bacteraemic pneumococcal pneumonia (NBPP), revealing a critical need for improved vaccination efforts as only 5.1% were vaccinated.
- Most affected children were young, particularly aged 2-4 for IPD and 0-11 months for NBPP, highlighting a significant opportunity to enhance access to pneumococcal vaccines in Thailand to reduce disease burden.
