Conjugate vaccines for enteric fever: proceedings of a meeting organized in New Delhi, India in 2009 by Audino Podda, Allan James Saul, Rashmi Arora, Zulfiqar Bhutta, Anju Sinha, Rajni Gaind, Tanu Singhal, Samir Saha, Abdullah Brooks, Laura B. Martin, Yeshwant Amdekar, Amar Jeet Chitkara, Mae Shieh, Ambujam Nair Kapur, Tulsi Das Chugh

“…To ensure good immunization coverage, the conjugate vaccine could be administered either to young infants, concomitantly with infant EPI vaccines, or to older infants, concomitantly with measles vaccine, currently given at 9 to 12 months. The need for new combination vaccines, containing both EPI and typhoid antigens, was discussed as a tool to increase coverage and reduce the number of injections and priority conflicts in a crowded infant vaccination schedule. …”
