BACKGROUND
Higher-valency pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) may reduce the burden of adult pneumococcal disease (PD), yet it is unclear whether higher acquisition costs are offset by improved health outcomes and cost savings.

Introduction: This study compared the health and economic impact of the 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (aPCV21) vs the 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20) on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and post-meningitis sequelae (PMS) among adults aged 65 years and older in the United Kingdom (UK). Met...

Implementing PCV21 for at-risk and high-risk adults 18-64 years in Switzerland was predicted to avert 518 invasive pneumococcal disease cases, 12 post-meningitis sequelae cases, and 2,578 inpatient non-bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia cases and 224 deaths.

In both age groups, PCV21 showed greater health and economic impact associated with IPD compared with PCV20, underscoring the potential benefits of incorporating PCV21 into adult pneumococcal vaccination strategies in Spain.

The serotypes targeted by PCV21 impose a significantly higher health and economic burden of IPD in Spain relative to PCV20, and may help reduce the health and economic burden of IPD among Spanish adults, supporting its incorporation into national vaccination guidelines and adult immunization strategies.
