Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • We achieved our intended sample size of 210 participants. • Rates of ear disease (71%) and 23vPPV-type carriage (26%) were lower than expected. • We were unable to show maternal 23vPPV efficacy against infant ear disease or 23vPPV-type carriage. • 23vPPV in pregnancy halved infant ear disease concurrent with 23vPPV-type carriage. • 23vPPV in pregnancy may complement childhood pneumococcal vaccination programs. |
