Pneumococcal disease

~100 different pneumococcus serotypes identified

– Each serotype has a different polysaccharide capsule

– Classified in serogroups of cross reactive serotypes

Most of them carried in nasopharynx and only very seldom lead to disease

– +/- 10 serogroups are responsible for the vast majority of disease in children

In June 2008 Prevenar® was added to the NIP. In July 2011 this was changed to Synflorix® and in July 2014 this was changed to

Prevenar 13®. Note: due to these changes there are periods where children were given a mixed schedule of vaccines.

More and More National Immunisation Technical Advisory Groups recommend both vaccines for use

in their UMV

Belgium2 The Netherlands3 Finland1

New Zealand4

… both vaccines to be suitable

for use in public programmes

The suggestion is

to use vaccine price only (to compare vaccines),

because the two products on the market

are very similar (…).

(…), both vaccines have a profile suitable for the

current epidemiology of S. pneumoniae infections in

children in Belgium

… both (…) are suitable for

inclusion on the National

In conclusion

Synflorix is a vaccine that is widely used

–>350 million doses distributed

–>125 countries

–>45 Universal Mass Vaccination programs

PCVs were initially evaluated based on immunogenicity to the serotypes they contain

Effectiveness results show that serotype content is not an appropriate way of extrapolating effectiveness

–Variable effectiveness against serotypes included in the vaccines

–Protection against cross reactive serotype

–Replacement disease

Totality of the data does not allow to show superiority of one vaccine over the other on IPD in children

Synflorix has the potential to also help prevent otitis media which is of particular importance in the NZ context

Synflorix Prescribing Information

28

• Synflorix® (10-valent adsorbed pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine) is an injection for intramuscular use

only. Synflorix is a prescription medicine for active immunisation of infants and children from the age of 6 weeks up to 5

years against disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine serotypes 1, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F

and cross-reactive serotype 19A (including invasive disease, pneumonia, and acute otitis media). The recommended

immunisation schedule consists of three doses of 0.5 mL beginning at 6 weeks of age, with an interval of at least 1 month

between doses, plus a booster dose at least 6 months after this primary series. Children aged between 2 and 5 years

should have two doses with an interval of at least 2 months between doses. Each 0·5 mL dose contains 1mcg of

pneumococcal polysaccharide serotypes 1, 5, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, and 23F and 3mcg of pneumococcal polysaccharide

serotypes 4, 18C, and 19F adsorbed onto 0·5mg aluminium phosphate. Synflorix also contains approximately 13mcg of

protein D carrier protein, approximately 8mcg of tetanus toxoid carrier protein, and approximately 5mcg of diphtheria

toxoid carrier protein. Contraindications: known hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine. Precautions: As

with all injectable vaccines, provide appropriate supervision against rare anaphylactic events or fainting. Postpone in

those with acute severe febrile illness (i.e. not in minor infections). Use caution with coagulation disorders. As with all

vaccines a protective immune response may not be elicited in all vaccinees. Safety and immunogenicity data not

available in those with underlying medical conditions predisposing to pneumococcal infection (e.g. splenic dysfunction,

HIV). Data suggest that the use of prophylactic paracetamol might reduce the immune response to pneumococcal

vaccines; the clinical relevance of this observation remains unknown. Consider respiratory monitoring for 48–72h for very

premature infants. Common side effects: pain, redness, swelling, and induration at injection site; fever; drowsiness; loss

of appetite; and irritability. Uncommon side effects have also been reported, such as injection-site haematoma, apnoea,

and fits due to fever. As with some other vaccines, an increase in reactogenicity was reported after booster vaccination

compared to the primary course. Interactions: immune responses and the safety profiles of the coadministered vaccines

were unaffected, with the exception of the inactivated poliovirus type 2 vaccine, for which inconsistent results were

observed across studies. Before prescribing Synflorix, please review the full Data Sheet at www.medsafe.govt.nz.
