BACKGROUND
Older adults are at highest risk of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and are recommended to receive vaccination with 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23). Antibody concentrations decline following vaccination. We evaluated the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of

Pneumococci are one of the most common causes of bacterial meningitis in children. It's also responsible for the other invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD) including bacteremia and pneumonia worldwide. Unvaccinated children are more prone to IPD. Although IPD tend to have a higher prevalence under 2

Streptococcus pneumoniae accounts for approximately 50% of bacterial meningitis cases in the United States annually. Since the advent of antibiotics, pneumococcal meningitis as a complication of a primary otogenic focus has been rare in the United States. The widespread use of immunosuppressants and
