Post-marketing Safety Evaluation of Pneumococcal Vaccines Among Children and Elderly Adults.

• Conditions: Pneumococcal Vaccine Adverse Reaction

• Registration Number: NCT04551248
• Lead Sponsor: Sungkyunkwan University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this observational study is to examine the risk of adverse events following vaccination with 10 or 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10 or PCV13) among infants or children age \<59 months and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) among adults age 65 years and older.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this observational study is to examine 1) the risk of adverse events (AEs) following vaccination with 10 or 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10 or PCV13) among infants or children age \<59 months using a self-controlled risk interval design and 2) the risk of AEs following vaccination with 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) among adults age 65 years and older compared with influenza vaccine recipients using a cohort design. We will use the national health insurance database from the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) linked with the national immunization program registry data from the Korea Centers for Diseases Control \& Prevention (KCDC).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Relative risk of adverse events	2014-2018	1. the ratio of probability of adverse events occuring in the risk periods after vaccination with PCV10 or PCV13 versus the control periods in the self-controlled risk interval study design.; 2. the ratio of probability of adverse events occuring in the PPSV23 group versus the influenza vaccine (a comparator) group in the cohort study design.
