Pneumococcal carriage prevalence, serotype distribution, and vaccine coverage in Ethiopia 12 years after pneumococcal vaccine introduction
There is considerable residual circulation of vaccine serotypes in Ethiopia, particularly in rural areas and the east, and low vaccine coverage. Pneumococcal epidemiology varies by geographical region and urban/rural setting, implying an unequal burden of pneumococcal disease across the country 12 years post-PCV introduction.
