Impact of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in South Africa
Anne von Gottberg
Centre for Respiratory Diseases and Meningitis (CRDM)
Mortality due to pneumonia
• South Africa first African country to introduce pneumococcal vaccine into routine immunisation programmes
• National Strategic Plan: <5 mortality, infant mortality reductions
• Millennium Development Goals (MDG) 4: To reduce child mortality
• Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Pneumococcus (Streptococcus
pneumoniae)
• Gram-positive cocci • Carriage in nasopharynx (>50%
of children <3 years of age) Bogaert et al, Lancet ID 2004
• Commonest bacterial cause of pneumonia
• Causes pneumonia, meningitis, sinusitis, otitis media
• Clinically significant bacteraemia in Kenya: 436/100,000 children <5 years Brent et al, Lancet 2006
• Associated with HIV • High morbidity and mortality
Pneumococcal capsule
• Polysaccharide capsule
• >90 serotypes
• 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine
• Conjugate vaccine: effective in children – 7 serotypes in the 7-valent
vaccine (PCV7): common paediatric serotypes, also most resistant
– PCV10, PCV13

Laboratory-based surveillance for IPD in South Africa
GERMS-SA (Group for Enteric, Respiratory and Meningeal Disease Surveillance in South Africa) surveillance for laboratory-confirmed cases invasive disease >270 clinical microbiology laboratories enhanced surveillance at 25 hospital sites
Definitions and methods
• Active, national laboratory-based surveillance
• Case: identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae, from normally sterile site specimens
• Repeat isolates from the same patient are excluded; recurrent episodes were defined as repeated isolation >21 days
• Serotyping by Quellung
Number of cases of IPD reported by age and HIV, South Africa, 2005-2008 (enhanced sites only [7382/19233, 38% of all IPD], with known age and HIV status
[5302/7382, 72%])

Pneumococcal Vaccine Introduction in South Africa
• PCV7 introduced in 2009, replaced by PCV13 in 2011
• Three-dose schedule – 6 weeks, 14 weeks and 9 months
• Estimated PCV7 coverage 2009 and 2010 (Expanded Programme on Immunisation administrative data)
Year PCV7 1st dose PCV7 3rd dose
2009 41% 11%
2010 87% 63%

Summary
• Using a novel, infant schedule aligned with developing country Expanded Programme on Immunization – Substantial reductions in IPD in HIV-infected and –
uninfected children
– Indirect effects (adults and infants)
– Some reductions due to HIV interventions, but bulk of impact due to PCV
• Antimicrobial resistance decreasing in all ages
• Non-vaccine serotype replacement

Resistant Intermediate Susceptible
2013 CLSI breakpoints for penicillin (oral penicillin V) were used: susceptible, ≤0.06mg/L; intermediately resistant, 0.12-1mg/L; resistant, ≥2mg/L.
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 15 September 2014
•≥2 PCV-7 doses effective in: •HIV-uninfected – VE 74% (95% CI 25-91) •HIV-exposed-uninfected – VE 92% (47-99) •Effective against multidrug resistant IPD (VE 96%, 62-100)
•VE in HIV-infected -12% (-449-77)
Summary
• Using a novel, infant schedule aligned with developing country Expanded Programme on Immunization
– Indirect effects
– Some reductions due to HIV interventions, but bulk of impact due to PCV
• Non-vaccine serotype replacement
• Antimicrobial resistance decreasing in all ages
Thank you to all participating patients, laboratory, clinical and administrative staff for submitting case reports and
isolates
