What is Herd Immunity?
Susceptible Population
Herd immunity: Partially Vaccinated Population x xx
Evidence of herd immunity reducing disease among children Drop in VT disease in children outside vaccinated age group (~50% reduction in infants <2 mos and children 5-17 years) Observed reduction in VT disease in children > expected (77%) –Expected reduction = vaccine coverage (83% 3+ doses) X vaccine efficacy (92%) Poehling K et al, JAMA 2006
Replacement (ri‘ pleys munt) 1.[n] a person or thing that takes or can take the place of another 2.[n] an event in which one thing is substituted for another

Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Effectiveness Study Primary objective: Effectiveness against invasive disease caused by vaccine serotypes Secondary objectives –Effectiveness against individual types –Effectiveness of various schedules Whitney et al Lancet 2006

Summary Vaccine highly effective in preventing IPD due to vaccine serotypes Vaccine effective against IPD due to vaccine-related serotype 6A but not 19A Different schedules also highly effective Some evidence of an added benefit from a booster dose at >12 months
Indirect Effects in Adults with HIV/AIDS Between 1999 and 2004, decline in invasive disease of 37% in those with HIV/AIDS years Drop in vaccine-type disease in those with HIV/AIDS (-71%) same as in those without (-73%) Large increase in nonvaccine types in HIV/AIDS (+43%) vs no change in others (-7%) Flannery et al Annals Int Med 2005; CDC unpublished data
Penicillin Resistance in S. pneumoniae United States : CDC Sentinel Surveillance Network : CDC Active Bacterial Core Surveillance (ABCs) /Emerging Infections Program
Distribution of Pneumococcal Serotypes by Frequency and Penicillin Resistance Children <2 years, ABCs, 1999 Conjugate vaccine Not in vaccine
Invasive Disease in Children <2 years by Susceptibility to Penicillin Kyaw M et al, ABCs 2006 New Engl J Med Pen S Pen NS Vaccine introduced
Impact of Conjugate Vaccine on Pneumococcal Epidemiology Large declines in invasive disease rates in young children Shift in circulating serotypes has led to herd benefit in unvaccinated children and adults Indirect benefit in highly susceptible adults (HIV/AIDS) Fewer resistant infections But…. Replacement disease reduces benefit in some highly susceptible groups (HIV/AIDS)
Pertussis and Adults Pertussis (whooping cough) – a poorly controlled vaccine-preventable disease –Incidence increasing –In 2005, 25,616 US cases reported (40 year high) Adults vulnerable to pertussis –27% reported cases among adults –Pertussis immunity wanes 5 to 10 years after childhood DTaP* series First pertussis vaccines (Tdap) † for adolescents and adults licensed in 2005 *Diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis vaccine † Tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid and acellular pertussis vaccine Slides thanks to Katrina Kretsinger
Pertussis Transmission to Infants Infants <12 months of age greatest risk for death and complications from pertussis –From Accounted for 92 / 100 U.S. pertussis deaths Risk of death highest among youngest infants Over 60% infants with pertussis hospitalized Adults transmit to infants* –Among 264 known source-cases 55% identified as mother, father or grandparent 51% were adults >19 years of age * Bisgard KM, Pascual FB, Ehresmann KR, Miller CA, Cianfrini C, Jennings CE et al. Infant pertussis: who was the source? Pediatr Infect Dis J 2004; 23(11):
Pertussis in Health-Care Settings Health-care personnel (HCP) at increased risk of pertussis exposure and infection HCP can transmit to vulnerable patients, including infants Pertussis outbreaks reported in pediatric and adult inpatient wards, maternity units and obstetric units Infection control activities are resource- intensive, disruptive and costly
Clinical Pertussis Upper respiratory illness x 1-2 weeks, followed by cough illness –Median duration of cough illness >2 months Antimicrobials do not modify the course of illness after cough established –Will decrease infectivity of patients if given early Can result in repeated medical visits and time lost from work High risk groups for pertussis not well defined
Why Serotype 19A? Relatively common cause of disease before vaccine use Commonly carried Vaccine provides no cross protection Frequently antibiotic resistant Clonal expansion and possible capsular switching (Pai R et al J Infect Dis 2005)
