Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Protection against Coronavirus-Associated Pneumonia Hospitalization in Children Living with and without HIV

SARS-CoV-2 may cause severe hospitalization, but little is known about the role of secondary bacterial infection in these severe cases, beyond the observation of high levels of reported inflammatory markers, associated with bacterial infection, such as procalcitonin.

We did a secondary analysis of a double-blind randomized trial of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) to examine its impact on human coronavirus (CoV) infections before the pandemic.
