EMD Seminar Series: Dan Weinberger, PhD - “The unexpected resurgence of vaccine-targeted serotypes of pneumococcus”

“The unexpected resurgence of vaccine-targeted serotypes of pneumococcus”

Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines have been used for more than 25 years. After suppressing disease rates of targeted serotypes for many years, several serotype have recently re-emerged. The cause of this resurgence is not clear, but understanding this issue is critical to ensure the continued success of future pneumococcal vaccine programs. In this talk, I will discuss some hypotheses for the rebound in vaccine-targeted serotypes and the evidence for and against these hypotheses based on recent data.
