摘要: The 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Prevenar 13(®), Prevnar 13(®)) [PCV13] consists of 13 serotype-specific polysaccharides Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus), each covalently conjugated to a non-toxic immunogenic carrier protein. PCV13 has well established immunogenicity and tolerability profile in adults, particularly those ≥50 years age. Results CAPiTA, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial >84,000 older adults aged ≥65 years, showed that was effective preventing vaccine-type community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), nonbacteraemic (noninvasive) CAP invasive disease (IPD). These findings, along with changes serotype distribution epidemiology disease, prompted the US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommend series 23-valent polysaccharide (PPVS23) for all years. also role (pneumonia IPD) younger immunocompromising conditions potentially other underlying medical increase risk disease.
