Pneumococcal infections are a public health concern, especially among older adults and those with underlying comorbid or immunocompromising conditions. In Chile there are currently two pneumococcal vaccines, Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine 23-valent (PPSV23) and Pneumococcal Conjugated Vaccine 13-valent (PCV13). Though less expensive, PPSV23 is though to elicit a less robust immune response and have limited effectiveness against non-bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia.
