Effectiveness of 23-Valent Polysaccharide Pneumococcal Vaccine and Changes in Invasive Pneumococcal Disease Incidence from 2000 to 2017 in Those Aged 65 and Over in England and Wales.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Invasive Pneumococcal Disease (IPD) is a major public health concern. The effectiveness of 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine (PPV23) against IPD in older age-groups is not fully understood. We measured PPV23 effectiveness against IPD and interpreted changes in IPD incidence between 2000 and 2017.

Methods

Public Health England conducts enhanced national IPD surveillance in England and Wales. The indirect cohort method was used to estimate PPV23 effectiveness against IPD in individuals aged ? 65?years eligible for PPV23 vaccination during 2012-2016. IPD incidence in 2016/17 was compared to rates during 2000-2003, when neither PPV23 nor pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) were routinely used in England and Wales.

Findings

PPV23 effectiveness, irrespective of time since vaccination, was 27% (95% CI, 17-35) after adjusting for age, co-morbidity and year of infection. Vaccine effectiveness reduced non-significantly (p?=?0.13) with time since vaccination, from 41% (95% CI, 23-54) for those vaccinated within two years, to 34% (95% CI, 16-48) for those vaccinated 2-4?years previously, and 23% (95% CI, 12-32) for those vaccinated ? 5?years previously. Vaccine effectiveness did not vary significantly by age but was highest in previously healthy individuals (45%; 95%CI, 27-59). IPD incidence for PPV23 serotypes not included in the PCVs did not decrease after routine PPV23 use but increased significantly since PCV introduction in 2006.

Interpretation

PPV23 offers moderate short-term protection against IPD in older adults. PPV23 serotypes comprise an increasing proportion of IPD cases in older adults because of serotype replacement following routine PCV use in children.

Project description:IntroductionLong-term comparative immunologic response to 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) versus 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) among HIV-infected adults has not yet been investigated.MethodsIn this prospective pilot study, we quantified in HIV-positive adults serotype-specific IgG concentrations of the 12 pneumococcal serotypes shared by both vaccines 5 years after vaccination with two doses of PCV13 8 weeks apart (group 1) or one dose of PPV23 (group 2) and compared them with those assessed prior to vaccination (BL) and after 1 year (T1). Comparison of immunogenicity was based on geometric mean concentration (GMC), proportion of individuals with ≥ twofold increase from BL in specific antibody concentration against ≥ 2 serotypes and percentage of individuals with serotype-specific IgG ≥ 0.35 μg/ml, ≥ 1 μg/ml and ≥ individual serotype-specific correlates of protection.ResultsWe included 91 subjects (median CD4+ 650 cells/µl, > 90% with HIV-RNA < 50 copies/ml); patients in groups 1 (n = 42) and 2 (n = 49) were homogeneous for the main characteristics. GMCs were significantly higher in the PCV13 group than in the PPV23 group for serotype 19F (p = 0.003). Both vaccines revealed higher significant GMCs to most serotypes compared with BL, i.e., eight in group 1 vs. seven in group 2. With respect to T1, GMCs decreased significantly in the PCV13 group for eight vs. ten serotypes in the PPV23 group. More participants in the PCV13 group had ≥ 2 increase from BL in antibody levels to ≥ 2 serotypes compared with the PPV23 group (78.6% vs. 59.2%, p = 0.042). Overall, the percentage of subjects with serotype-specific IgG ≥ 0.35 μg/ml, ≥ 1 μg/ml and ≥ individual serotype-specific correlates of protection was similar between groups.ConclusionIn this study with HIV-positive adults with a favorable viro-immunologic profile, both vaccines were shown to achieve a long-term durable serologic response. We found minor differences in immunogenicity between the two vaccines, which favored PCV13 over PPV23 5 years after immunization.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT02123433.
