Pneumococcal Diseases: Vaccination

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford on 22 May (HL15599 and HL15600) and the Public Health England modelling on the estimated impact of revising the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine schedule from 2+1 to 1+1 in England and Wales, presented at the 37th annual meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases, how many additional (1) invasive pneumococcal disease cases, (2) pneumococcal community acquired pneumonia cases, and (3) deaths, they predict as a result of a change to a 1+1 vaccine schedule over the next five years.

Answer

The modelling by Public Health England (PHE) on the estimated impact of revising the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine schedule from 2+1 to 1+1 has been accepted for publication by Public Library of Science (PLoS) Medicine and is due to be published shortly. Release of the modelling data prior to its publication could prejudice publication.

The poster Estimated impact of revising the 13-valent pneumococal conjugate vaccine schedule from 2+1 to 1+1 in England and Wales: a modelling study, presented by PHE at the European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases, provides context for the model on additional invasive pneumococcal disease cases, pneumococcal community acquired pneumonia cases and deaths. A copy of the poster is attached.

More detail will be available once the published paper is available.
