How effective is the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine?

The PCV is highly effective in preventing invasive pneumococcal disease caused by the serotypes included in the vaccine. Studies have shown a significant reduction in cases of pneumonia, meningitis, and bacteremia in populations where the vaccine is widely used. The vaccine's effectiveness also extends to reducing antibiotic-resistant strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
