1 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
After switching from 13-valent to 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10) (2015-2016) for children in Belgium, we observed rapid reemergence of serotype 19A invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). Whole-genome sequencing of 166 serotype 19A IPD isolates from children (n = 54) and older adults (n = 56) and carriage isolates from healthy children (n = 56) collected after the vaccine switch (2017-2018) showed...
