Core Tip |
This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed with the aim to collect data from post-marketing studies on 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) and to provide evidence about the impact of the vaccine in the real world. Eligible articles were identified through a search on PubMed and Scopus. The meta-analysis showed that PCV7 is able to reduce invasive pneumococcal diseases due to both vaccine serotypes and to all serotypes. The effectiveness was 84% (95%CI: 74%-90%) and 53% (95%CI: 46%-59%) respectively. These data may be taken into consideration in order to foresee the impact under real conditions of PCV13 which has replaced PCV7 from 2010 onwards.
