A nationwide study of two decades of invasive pneumococcal disease in the Faroe Islands, 2000–2023
The findings emphasise the need for ongoing evaluation of pneumococcal vaccine formulations and alternative strategies to address the increasing prevalence of nVT IPD. Higher-valency vaccines and sustained vaccination coverage are critical to mitigating the impact of serotype replacement and improving public health outcomes in the Faroe Islands.
