The article reports on the recommendations for the use of 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20) approved by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) on June 22, 2023 and adopted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, and Prevention (CDC) Director o...
Understanding the potential risks associated with pneumococcal disease, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) provided newrecommendations to improve vaccine coverage and protection among adults. Previously, the committee recommended up to two doses of the PPSV23 vaccine...
(HealthDay)—A new policy has simplified the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) pneumococcal vaccination recommendations; the updated recommendations are published in the Jan. 28 issue of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Preventi
Aetna considers pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV13, PCV15, PCV20, PCV21) and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) medically necessary according to the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The follo...
At equal vaccine prices, PCV21 dominated PCV20 for older adults. Indirect effects had minimal impact on the cost-effectiveness of PCV21; the ICER of PCV21 compared to no vaccination in older adults increased from €6352/QALY gained with PCV10 in children to €7876/QALY gained with PCV...
However, if some protein-based vaccines were to satisfy these requirements with appropriate adjuvants and optimal delivery systems and become available clinically, further vaccine development for pneumococcus may become unnecessary. 6. Recommendations for adults and future directions PCV20 or sequential ...
Why should one receive the pneumococcal vaccine? Invasive pneumococcal disease is usually more serious in infants and the elderly.

Nevertheless, continued surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in non-vaccine serotypes is necessary to prevent the resurgence of resistance. Other virulence factors which are not serotype specific also need to be studied to overcome the drawbacks of serotype-specific pneumococcal vaccines. PCV-13 was ...
