Brief Summary
The bacterium pneumococcus causes invasive disease, pneumonia and otitis media in young children. Seven-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) has been provided for Aboriginal and high risk children since 2001 and all Australian children since 2005. There are two new pneumococcal conjugate vaccines to be licensed in Australia by the end of 2010. These have 10 pneumococcal serotypes in common but one also offers protection from H. influenzae infection and the other has 3 additional pneumoco .... Read more
