Evolution of conjugate vaccines

open access: yesExpert Review of Vaccines, 2002
Conjugate vaccines--bacterial polysaccharides conjugated to proteins to improve their immunizing properties--have been a success story since their introduction less than 20 years ago. The Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine has nearly eliminated invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b disease in large parts of the world.

7-Valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccination in England and Wales: is it still beneficial despite high levels of serotype replacement? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
BACKGROUND: The UK introduced the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) into the national vaccination program in September 2006. Previous modelling assumed that the likely impact of PCV7 on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) would be similar to
