Abstract

ABSTRACT: Although pneumococcal vaccination programs have significantly reduced the incidence of pneumococcal infections in the US, pneumococcal pneumonia continues to be a burdensome cause of morbidity and mortality. Pneumococcal vaccination recommendation updates were recently published and introduce two new pneumococcal conjugate vaccines for use in adults ages 19 and older.
