Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines for adults

Samuel Yeboah Asiamah, MD · Practice alert, JPH

A practice alert on the 2024 ACIP updates: the approval of PCV21, routine vaccination now starting at age 50, and revised catch-up guidance. It compares the three valid pathways (PCV15 with PPSV23, PCV20 alone or PCV21 alone), the serotype coverage gap in PCV21, and catch-up scheduling by prior vaccination history.
