    Abstract:

    Vaccination with the 13-valent Pneumococcal conjugate Vaccine (PCV13) followed ≥ 1 year by the 23-valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPSV23) is recommended for immunocompetent adults ≥ 65 ...

  • immunogenicity and safety of the 13 valent Pneumococcal conjugate Vaccine compared to the 23 valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine in elderly japanese adults

    Abstract:

    Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of severe disease worldwide, particularly in the elderly population. Due to increasing life expectancy in Japan and elsewhere, an effective Vaccine which offers the possibility of prolonged protection is required. Protein conjugated Pneumococcal Vaccines, which have the ability to boost immunity (immunologic memory) on natural exposure or revaccination, may meet these requirements. An unconjugated 23-valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPSV23) has been available for decades; however data on protection against pneumonia are inconsistent. For the first time, a randomized, modified double-blind trial comparing the 13-valent Pneumococcal conjugate Vaccine (PCV13) with PPSV23 was conducted in PPSV23-naive adults ≥65 years of age in Japan. This study showed that statistically significantly greater functional antibody responses as measured by opsonophagocytic assays 1 month after vaccination were elicited in the PCV13 group (n = 366) compared with the PPSV23 grou...

  • immunogenicity and safety of 13 valent Pneumococcal conjugate Vaccine in hiv infected adults previously vaccinated with Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine

    Abstract:

    Background Persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are at increased risk of Pneumococcal disease. We evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of 13-valent Pneumococcal conjugate Vaccine (PCV13) in this population. Methods HIV-infected persons ≥ 18 years of age who were previously vaccinated with ≥ 1 dose of 23-valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPSV23) and had CD4 cell counts ≥ 200 cells/mm(3) and HIV viral loads Results A total of 329 subjects received ≥ 1 dose, and 279 received 3 doses administered at 6-month intervals. Increases in anticapsular Polysaccharide immunoglobulin G concentrations and opsonophagocytic antibody titers were demonstrated 1 month after each of the 3 doses of PCV13. Antibody levels were generally similar after each dose. The responses were similar whether subjects had previously received 1 or ≥ 2 doses of PPSV23. Pain at the injection-site was the most common local reaction. Severe injection site or systemic events were uncommon. Conclusions Vaccination with PCV13 induces anticapsular immunoglobulin G and opsonophagocytic antibody responses in HIV-infected adults with prior PPSV23 vaccination and CD4 cell counts ≥ 200 cells/mm(3). The observations support the use of PCV13 in this population. Clinical trials registration NCT00963235.

  • Decreased immune response to Pneumococcal conjugate Vaccine after 23-valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine in children.

    Abstract:

    Abstract Background Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPV) is used in children at high risk of IPD. PPV is generally not considered to induce immunologic memory, whereas Pneumococcal conjugate Vaccines (PCVs) elicit protective antibody responses in infants and induce immunologic memory. Little is known about the characteristics of immune responses to PCV in children who previously received PCV and PPV in series. Objective To characterize immune responses to 13-valent Pneumococcal CRM 197 conjugate Vaccine (PCV13; serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) in children vaccinated in infancy with 9-valent Pneumococcal–meningococcal C-CRM 197 conjugate combination Vaccine (PCV9-MnCC), followed by a toddler dose of PCV9-MnCC or 23-valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPV23). Methods Children ( n  = 89) who received PCV9-MnCC in infancy and PPV23 or PCV9-MnCC at age 12 months in a previous (2002–2003) study were vaccinated at age 7.5 years with PCV13; groups PPV23/PCV13 ( n  = 50) and PCV9/PCV13 ( n  = 39). Immunoglobulin (Ig)G antibodies, avidity, and opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) were measured before and at 1 and 4 weeks postvaccination. Results One week postvaccination, IgG levels increased significantly for all serotypes in both groups, and >97% of Vaccinees achieved IgG ≥0.35 μg/ml 4 weeks after PCV13 vaccination. The PCV9/PCV13 group had higher IgG responses compared with the PPV23/PCV13 group. The upper limits of the 95% confidence intervals of the PPV23/PCV13:PCV9/PCV13 IgG geometric mean concentration ratios were Conclusions PPV23 vaccination of toddlers may compromise subsequent responses to Pneumococcal conjugate Vaccines. The clinical relevance of this finding is unclear.
