A dynamic transmission model for assessing the impact of pneumococcal vaccination in the United States. by Tufail M Malik, Kevin M Bakker, Rachel J Oidtman, Oluwaseun Sharomi, Giulio Meleleo, Robert B Nachbar, Elamin H Elbasha

“…Due to the high effectiveness of these vaccines, each new pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) introduction has resulted in a decrease in vaccine-type disease and a shift in the serotype distribution towards non-vaccine types in a phenomenon called serotype replacement. Here, an age-structured compartmental model was created that reproduced historical carriage transmission dynamics in the United States and was used to evaluate the population-level impact of new vaccine introductions into the pediatric population. …”
