The Relevance of Vaccination against Pneumococcal Disease to the Child Population of Krasnoyarsk

The paper presents evidence of the relevance of pneumococcal infection (PI) in children of Krasnoyarsk. The most severe form of PI is pneumococcal meningitis that characterizes by lesion of not only meninges but brain substance, extreme severity, long-term nonsmooth flow with the development of complications that threaten a patient's life. The inclusion of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in the planned childhood immunization scheme will significantly reduce the severity of these diseases.
