  Purpose

Recently, controversy has emerged regarding the role of the 23vPPV in infants due to potential immunological hypo-responsiveness (i.e. a poorer immune response to repeat vaccination). Although previous experience of 23vPPV in children in PNG has demonstrated protective efficacy against acute lower respiratory tract infection, the investigators feel it is a matter of urgency to determine if 23vPPV administration provides elevated antibody concentrations at 3 to 5 years of age, and to ensure the immunological safety of the 23vPPV in infants.

Following consent and eligibility assessment, a baseline blood sample and nose swab will be taken, a 0.1ml dose of 23vPPV will be administered and a follow up blood sample and nose swab will be collected 28 days later. The investigators will also collect data on incidence of ALRI in all study participants by medical record review.

Official Title: Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Followup: Investigation of Serotype-specific Antibody Persistence and B Cell Memory at Age 3-5 Years Following 23valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine at Age 9 Months in PNG Children Previously Primed With 7valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Measure serotype-specific antibody persistence in children aged 3-5 years after vaccination with 23vPPV at 9 months of age and compared to unvaccinated controls. [ Time Frame: 2yrs ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Children who were previously vaccinated with Pneumovax (23vPPV) at 9 months will be followed up at age 3-5 years of age. They will be given a challenge dose of Pneumovax (0.1mL) and followed up 1 months later. Age matched controls identified from each villages will also be recruited and given a challenge dose of Pneumovax. Serotype-specific antibodies will be measure pre- and post-challenge dose to determine anitbody levels.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Measure the number of circulating serotype-specific memory B-cells pre- & post- booster immunisation [ Time Frame: 2yrs ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Measure nasopharyngeal pneumococcal serotype-specific carriage rates pre- and post- 23vPPV challenge dose [ Time Frame: 2yrs ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
