Inhalt: This book explains how to monitor and measure the effects of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine introduction. It summarizes the most current information on pneumococcal conjugate vaccines. It discusses the world-wide potential of the vaccines; details the impact of vaccination on childhood respiratory disease, including antibiotic resistance; makes clear the biology of the pneumococcus in relation to disease; and, explains the dynamics of a successful vaccine launch.
