Description
Nshimiyimana and co-authors check which germs live in the noses and throats of young children in urban Uganda. Uganda added the PCV10 vaccine in 2013, given at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age. Tracking germ carriage after rollout shows if the vaccine is shifting the mix of germs.
The cross-sectional study covers four germs: pneumococcus, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Staphylococcus aureus. It also tests how well antibiotics still work against the germs found. Such data help officials judge vaccine effects and guide treatment choices for sick children in the area.
