Summary
This study looked at whether changing the timing of a pneumonia vaccine (PCV13) from three doses without a booster to two doses plus a booster can better reduce the bacteria that cause pneumonia and meningitis in children. Over 3,500 children and adults in Blantyre, Malawi, took part. Researchers measured how many people carried the bacteria in their nose to see if the new schedule provides stronger community protection.
