Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine herd effects on non-invasive pneumococcal pneumonia in elderly

Highlights • Herd effects of PCV's have not been well established for non-IPD pneumococcal CAP. • Cost-effectiveness analyses have been shown sensitive for assumptions on this parameter. • We assessed herd effects using a serotype specific urinary antigen test in elderly pneumococcal CAP patien...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Herd effects of PCV's have not been well established for non-IPD pneumococcal CAP. • Cost-effectiveness analyses have been shown sensitive for assumptions on this parameter. • We assessed herd effects using a serotype specific urinary antigen test in elderly pneumococcal CAP patients. • We show that herd effects of non-IPD pneumococcal CAP are similar to those of IPD.
