Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines effective at preventing child deaths, study suggests
feeds.sciencedaily.com — “A new study concludes that pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV), already known to prevent invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and X-ray defined pneumonia, were also effective against child deaths. According to the review, 80 percent of children were less likely to develop vaccine-type IPD, 58 percent all-serotype IPD, and 27 percent x-ray defined pneumonia than children who did not receive the vaccine. Eleven percent of child deaths were also prevented.” View full resource at feeds.sciencedaily.com
