Persistence of immunity to conjugate and polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccines in frail, hospitalised older adults in long-term follow up

BACKGROUND: Data on long-term antibody responses to pneumococcal vaccines in the elderly, especially the frail elderly at greatest risk of severe disease, are limited. We followed up participants in a randomised trial of the immunogenicity of 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (23vPPV) and 7 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV7) in hospitalised older adults.

METHODS: We measured antibody to vaccine serotypes by standardised enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and opsonophagocytic (OPA) assays. A follow up study was conducted six years after vaccination with 23vPPV alone or with PCV7 followed by 23vPPV six months later.

RESULTS: Of 215 surviving trial participants, 136 (63%) completed follow up; 62 received 23vPPV and 74 received PCV7 + 23vPPV. There was no significant difference in death and readmission between arms. Antibody levels by ELISA and OPA did not differ significantly between the two study arms at 72 months post-vaccination. ELISA and OPA antibody remained higher than baseline except for OPA antibody to 4, 6A, 6B, 9v, 19F and 23F, including in subjects with undetectable immunity at baseline.

DISCUSSION: While ELISA responses in both study arms remained high 6 years post-vaccination, considerable waning was observed by OPA in both study arms, which should be considered given the current single-dose recommendation in Australia. Further research is needed to inform pneumococcal vaccine recommendations in people over the age of 65.
