Description:We applied the indirect cohort method to estimate effectiveness of 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10) among young children in Brazil. Cases of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), i.e., Streptococcus pneumoniae, detected in normally sterile fluid identified through laboratory-based surveillance and previously enrolled in a matched case-control effectiveness study are included. We estimated PCV10 effectiveness using multivariable logistic regression comparing PCV10 vaccination among children with vaccine-type or vaccine-related IPD vs. children with non-vaccine-type disease. The adjusted effectiveness of ≥ 1 doses against vaccine-type (72.8%, 95% confidence interval [CI] [44.1, 86.7]) and vaccine-related (61.3%, 95%CI [14.5, 82.5]) IPD were similar to the effectiveness observed in the original case-control study (which required enrollment >1200 controls). We also found significant protection of ≥ 1 dose against individual vaccine serotypes (14, 6B, 23F, 18C) and against vaccine-related serotype 19A. The indirect cohort methods leverages existing surveillance is a feasible approach for evaluating pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, particularly in resource-limited settings.
