High-Risk Populations for Severe Pneumococcal Infection
Key opinion leaders identify high-risk populations for invasive pneumococcal disease, explain the underlying factors contributing to their increased susceptibility, and offer strategies to improve suboptimal vaccination rates, particularly among historically underserved communities.
- Who are the high-risk populations for developing invasive pneumococcal disease?
- What is the rationale for why certain populations are at risk for severe pneumococcal infections?
- How can we improve inadequate pneumococcal vaccine uptake rates, specifically in historically marginalized groups?
