Objective
Streptococcus pneumonia (Pac) causes a substantial burden of disease in infants and adults in Europe. With the imminent licensing of new Pac conjugate vaccines, it is imperative to establish the pre-vaccination epidemiology of Pac infection tenable policy makers to implement the most appropriate vaccination strategy. We propose to collect data with standardised methodology to determine the actual incidence of Pac carriage and Pnc invasive disease in a range of European countries and the risk factors for Pac invasive disease. We will also develop new laboratory methodology to measure serological correlates of natural and vaccine induced immunity. Utilising this data in tailored mathematical models, we will predict the impact of a variety of vaccination strategies on Pac infection and disease and undertake an economic evaluation of these alternative interventions tenable the design of an optimal vaccination strategy.
