Starting Day 2 at #CANatWACCBIP with a plenary by Prof. Kondwani Jambo.
He unpacks the residual burden of pneumococcal disease in the conjugate vaccine era—highlighting high carriage rates in treated HIV patients and what this means for disease control.
With over 100 serotypes and persistent transmission, the pneumococcus continues to challenge public health strategies, especially in high-burden African settings.
