Funded Activity Summary

Despite recommending pneumococcal vaccine in the Northern Territory since 2000 for Indigenous Australians from 15 years of age, and increasing vaccination coverage, a corresponding reduction in disease has not been observed. This study will provide an evidence base for future vaccination policy by examining whether there is an adequate immune response to pneumococcal vaccination in Indigenous Australians, and whether prior vaccination could reduce the immune response to revaccination.
