The population impact and cost-effectiveness of the 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in Iceland
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a Gram-positive diplococcus that is both a commensal bacterium in the upper respiratory tract of humans, and a common pathogen. The infectious manifestations of pneumococci span a range from benign to serious; from acute otitis media (AOM) that often resolves without inte...
