Pneumococcal disease mortality in children < 5 years of age after pneumococcal conjugate vaccine introduction in colombia: a time-trend analysis, 2005-2016
Background: Pneumonia has been one of leading causes of childhood mortality in Colombia. Since 2006, the Colombian Ministry of Health recommends pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) to high-risk groups. The universal mass vaccination program was fully implemented in 2011 (2-4-12-month schedule). In 2012, Pneumococcal polysaccharide protein D-conjugate vaccine replaced the use of 7-valent PCV. The aim of the current study is to describe trends in pneumonia-related mortality in Colombian children, before and after the introduction of the PCV program.
