Impact of the 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10) on pneumococcal carriage in healthy children and children with acute otitis media and pneumonia: emergence of serotypes 3, 6C and 19A in Croatia
In the early post-vaccine period significant increase of PCV10 vaccine-related serotypes (6C, 19A) was observed. Continued monitoring is also essential due to concerning rise of serotype 3 in patients with mucosal infections and a higher risk for complicated pneumonia.
