BACKGROUND: Interest in reduced-dose pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) schedules is growing, but data on their ability to provide direct and indirect protection are scarce. We evaluated 1 + 1 (at 2 months and 12 months) and 0 + 1 (at 12 months) schedules of PCV10 or PCV13 in a predominately unvaccinated population.

METHODS: In this parallel, single-blind, randomised controlled trial, healthy infants aged 2 months were recruited from birth records in three districts in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and assigned (4:4:4:4:9) to one of five groups: PCV10 at 12 months of age (0 + 1 PCV10), PCV13 at 12 months of age (0 + 1 PCV13), PCV10 at 2 months and 12 months of age (1 + 1 PCV10), PCV13 at 2 months and 12 months of age (1 + 1 PCV13), and unvaccinated control. Outcome assessors were masked to group allocation, and the infants' caregivers and those administering vaccines were not. Nasopharyngeal swabs collected at 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months were analysed for pneumococcal carriage. Blood samples collected from a subset of participants (200 per group) at various timepoints were analysed by ELISA and opsonophagocytic assay. The primary outcome was the efficacy of each schedule against vaccine-type carriage at 24 months, analysed by intention to treat for all those with a nasopharyngeal swab available. This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03098628.

FINDINGS: 2501 infants were enrolled between March 8, 2017, and July 24, 2018 and randomly assigned to study groups (400 to 0 + 1 PCV10, 400 to 0 + 1 PCV13, 402 to 1 + 1 PCV10, 401 to 1 + 1 PCV13, and 898 to control). Analysis of the primary endpoint included 341 participants for 0 + 1 PCV10, 356 0 + 1 PCV13, 358 1 + 1 PCV10, 350 1 + 1 PCV13, and 758 control. At 24 months, a 1 + 1 PCV10 schedule reduced PCV10-type carriage by 58% (95% CI 25 to 77), a 1 + 1 PCV13 schedule reduced PCV13-type carriage by 65% (42 to 79), a 0 + 1 PCV10 schedule reduced PCV10-type carriage by 53% (17 to 73), and a 0 + 1 PCV13 schedule non-significantly reduced PCV13-type carriage by 25% (-7 to 48) compared with the unvaccinated control group. Reactogenicity and serious adverse events were similar across groups.

INTERPRETATION: A 1 + 1 PCV schedule greatly reduces vaccine-type carriage and is likely to generate substantial herd protection and provide some degree of individual protection during the first year of life. Such a schedule is suitable for mature PCV programmes or for introduction in conjunction with a comprehensive catch-up campaign, and potentially could be most effective given as a mixed regimen (PCV10 then PCV13). A 0 + 1 PCV schedule has some effect on carriage along with a reasonable immune response and could be considered for use in humanitarian crises or remote settings.
