Posted Tuesday 16 July 2024 | Immunisation Coalition

This event aims to highlight advancements in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of pneumococcal disease. 

Our expert panel will discuss pneumococcal disease, vaccine development, and the impact of vaccines on disease reduction in both adults and children. They will also discuss the different serotypes and their effects across age groups, provided insights into invasive pneumococcal disease, immunisation recommendations, and compare polysaccharide and conjugated vaccine types.

The panel will review valent options and the future pneumococcal immunisation program for reducing disease burden. Additionally, strategies to increase immunisation rates among older adults and high-risk groups will also be covered.
