Pneumococcal carriage and disease in adults hospitalised with community-acquired pneumonia in Mongolia: prospective pneumonia surveillance program (2019–2022)
Despite paediatric vaccination with high coverage, we identified some residual PCV13 serotypes with predominance of non-PCV13 serotypes carried and causing disease in adults. Direct adult vaccination which targets these serotypes will potentially reduce disease in adults in Mongolia.
