| Popis: | BackgroundPneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV) are highly protective against invasive pneumococcal disease caused by vaccine serotypes but the burden of pneumococcal disease in developing countries is dominated by pneumonia, most of which is non-bacteraemic. We examined the impact of PCV on pneumonia incidence.MethodsWe linked prospective hospital surveillance for clinically-defined WHO severe or very-severe pneumonia at Kilifi County Hospital from 2002-2015 to population surveillance at Kilifi Health and Demographic Surveillance System, comprising 45,000 children aged Haemophilus influenzae protein D conjugate vaccine (PCV10) was introduced in Kenya in January 2011. In Kilifi, there was a catch-up campaign for children aged FindingsThe incidence of admission with clinically-defined pneumonia in 2002/3 was 21·7/1000/year in children aged 2-59 months. This declined progressively over 13 years. By the end of March 2011, 61·1% of children aged 2-11 months received ≥2 doses and 62·3% of children aged 12-59 months received ≥1 dose of PCV10. Adjusted incidence rate ratios for admissions with radiologically-confirmed pneumonia, clinically-defined pneumonia, and diarrhoea (control condition), associated with PCV10 introduction, were 0·52 (95% CI 0·32-0·86), 0·73 (95% CI 0·54-0·97) and 0·63, (95% CI 0·31-1·26), respectively. The annual incidence of clinically-defined pneumonia in December 2010 was 12·2/1000; this was reduced by 3·3/1000 with PCV10 introduction.InterpretationOver 13 years, hospitalisations for clinically-defined pneumonia declined progressively at Kilifi County Hospital but fell abruptly by 27% in association with PCV10 introduction. The incidence of radiologically-confirmed pneumonia fell by 48%. The burden of childhood pneumonia in Kilifi, Kenya, has been reduced substantially by PCV10.FundingGavi, Wellcome Trust |
