In the Northern Territory of Australia, a unique government-funded vaccination schedule for Indigenous Australian adults comprising multiple lifetime doses of the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine is currently implemented. Despite this programme, rates of pneumococcal disease do not appear to be declining...
dose in the standard schedule, serotype-specific GMCs, GMC ratios, and proportions with VT IgG concentrations ≥ 0.35 μg/ml at 9 months of age, 1 month post booster, at 18 months of age, and 1 month post YF vaccination in the PCV-YF vaccine separate versus co-administration groups...
