Bacterial polysaccharide–protein conjugate vaccines [PDF]
Following demonstration that chemical conjugation of polysaccharide antigens to proteins could enhance their immunogenicity in the 1920s, interest in this approach to primary prevention of bacterial infections waned with the development and widespread use of antibiotics. Emergence of resistant bacteria rekindled interest in the late 20th century, which

Meningococcal polysaccharide–protein conjugate vaccines
It is now 5 years since the UK became the first country to introduce the serogroup C meningococcal polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines (MenC) into its routine immunisation schedule. This article reviews the global use of MenC with particular reference to the range of immunisation strategies used internationally.

Safety of Revaccination With Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine [PDF]
Revaccination of healthy adults with pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV) within several years of first vaccination has been associated with a higher than expected frequency and severity of local injection site reactions. The risk of adverse events associated with revaccination of elderly and chronically ill persons 5 or more years after first ...
