Serotype-specific immune responses to pneumococcal conjugate vaccine among children are significantly correlated by individual: Analysis of randomized controlled trial data.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The magnitude of an individual's serotype-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) response to a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) has been associated with the vaccine's protective efficacy against carriage of pneumococci of that serotype, though the relationship with other serotypes needs to be understood. METHODS:Using immunogenicity data collected during a trial comparing the 7-valent (PCV7) and 13-valent (PCV13) vaccines, we measured associations between serotype-specific IgG levels, and used multiple regressions to identify demographic predictors of response. RESULTS:Vaccine-induced IgG levels were moderately positively correlated with one another, with pairwise correlation coefficients of 0.40-0.70. Principal component analysis of vaccine-serotype responses yielded one principal component indicating general immune responsiveness, and a second principal component mainly describing responses to serotype 14, which was the least correlated with the other responses. Overall, demographic variables explained only 17.0 and 20.4% of the geometric mean PCV7 and PCV13 responses, respectively. In both groups, older age at the first vaccine dose and shorter time from vaccination to antibody measurement were independently associated with stronger geometric mean responses. DISCUSSION:Improved understanding of the nature and causes of variation in immune response may aid in optimizing vaccination schedules and identifying robust correlates of protection.

Project description:IntroductionStreptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of pneumonia among children. However, owing to diagnostic limitations, the protection conferred by pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) against pediatric pneumonia attributable to vaccine-serotype pneumococci remains unknown.MethodsWe analyzed data on vaccination and nasopharyngeal pneumococcal detection among children <5 years old with community-acquired alveolar pneumonia (CAAP; "cases") and those without respiratory symptoms ("controls"), who were enrolled in population-based prospective surveillance studies in southern Israel between 2009 and 2018. We measured PCV-conferred protection against carriage of vaccine-serotype pneumococci via the relative risk of detecting these serotypes among vaccinated versus unvaccinated controls. We measured protection against progression of vaccine serotypes from carriage to CAAP via the relative association of vaccine-serotype detection in the nasopharynx with CAAP case status, among vaccinated and unvaccinated children. We measured PCV-conferred protection against CAAP attributable to vaccine-serotype pneumococci via the joint reduction in risks of carriage and disease progression.ResultsOur analyses included 1032 CAAP cases and 7743 controls. At ages 12-35 months, a PCV13 schedule containing 2 primary doses and 1 booster dose provided 87.2% (95% confidence interval: 8.1-100.0%) protection against CAAP attributable to PCV13-serotype pneumococci, and 92.3% (-0.9%, 100.0%) protection against CAAP attributable to PCV7-serotype pneumococci. Protection against PCV13-serotype and PCV7-serotype CAAP was 67.0% (-424.3%, 100.0%) and 67.7% (-1962.9%, 100.0%), respectively, at ages 36-59 months. At ages 4-11 months, 2 PCV13 doses provided 98.9% (-309.8%, 100.0%) and 91.4% (-191.4%, 100.0%) against PCV13-serotype and PCV7-serotype CAAP.ConclusionsAmong children, PCV-conferred protection against CAAP attributable to vaccine-targeted pneumococcal serotypes resembles protection against vaccine-serotype invasive pneumococcal disease.

Project description:BackgroundReduced-dose pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) schedules are under consideration in countries where children are recommended to receive 3 doses. Whereas PCV-derived protection against vaccine-serotype colonization is responsible for herd effects of vaccination, dose-specific PCV effectiveness against colonization endpoints is not known. We aimed to assess the performance of differing PCV schedules against vaccine-serotype colonization in children.MethodsFrom 2009-2016, we monitored pneumococcal carriage in southern Israel, where children should receive PCV at ages 2 months, 4 months, and 12 months (2 primary [p] +1 booster [b] schedule). We analyzed nasopharyngeal swabs and vaccination histories from 5928 children aged 0-59 months without symptoms of diseases potentially attributable to pneumococci. Matching individuals on age, sex, ethnicity, visit timing, and recent antibiotic receipt, we measured schedule-specific 7-valent PCV (PCV7) and 13-valent PCV (PCV13) effectiveness against vaccine-serotype colonization in a modified case-control framework. We sampled from the distribution of all possible case-control match assignments for statistical analyses.ResultsReceiving 2 primary-series PCV13 doses conferred 53% (95% confidence interval [CI], 32-67%) protection against PCV13-serotype colonization at ages ≤12 months; 1 primary-series dose was not protective. A 2p+1b PCV13 series conferred 40% (95% CI, 4-67%) and 62% (95% CI, 33-83%) protection against PCV13-serotype colonization at ages 13-24 months and 25-59 months, respectively. Estimates suggested greater PCV13-conferred protection against PCV7-targeted serotypes than the 6 PCV13-only serotypes. As compared to children receiving 2p+1b PCV13 dosing, those receiving 1p+1b and 2p+0b schedules experienced 2.05-fold (95% CI, 1.12-5.00) and 3.33-fold (95% CI, 2.28-4.93) greater odds, respectively, of vaccine-serotype pneumococcal colonization at ages 13-24 months.ConclusionsOur results demonstrate real-world effectiveness of 2p+1b PCV dosing against vaccine-serotype colonization. Reduced-dose schedules may confer lower protection against vaccine-serotype carriage during and beyond the first year of life.
