- Insights into the Interaction between Influenza Virus and Pneumococcus (2006, background): “3 cases of invasive pneumonia per 1,000 adults over the age of 50 years detectable by active surveillance since widespread implementation of the vaccine (84).”
- Infectious Diseases Society of America/American Thoracic Society Consensus Guidelines on the Management of Community-Acquired Pneumonia in Adults (2007, background): “However, its use in children !5 years of age has dramatically reduced invasive pneumococcal bacteremia among adults as well [314, 316].”
- Incidence of pneumococcal disease due to non-pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) serotypes in the United States during the era of widespread PCV7 vaccination, 1998-2004. (2007, background): “The decrease, although most marked in the vaccine’s target age group, was also significant among older children, adults, and elderly persons [3, 4].”
- The role of Streptococcus pneumoniae virulence factors in host respiratory colonization and disease (2008, background): “Reduced carriage of the organism in vaccinated children results in herd immunity , which can have an impact on the frequency of pneumococcal disease in those age groups that are not receiving the vaccin”
- Sustained reductions in invasive pneumococcal disease in the era of conjugate vaccine. (2010, background): “Shortly after PCV7 introduction, IPD incidence declined rapidly, not only among children targeted for vaccination but also among unvaccinated children and adults [5, 6], demonstrating strong direct and indirect vaccine effects.”
