pcv vaccine cost :: Article Creator Pneumococcal Vaccine V116 Reduces Disease Burden, Cost-Effective In Older Adults V116, a 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV21), may confer substantial protection against pneumococcal disease among older adults and be more cost-effective than both 20-valent PCV (PCV20) alone and 15-valent PCV (PCV15) combined with the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23). These findings were published in Infectious Diseases and Therapy. After the first PCVs were introduced in 2000, there was a reduction in pneumococcal disease among children. Designed specifically for adults, V116 contains 8 unique serotypes not found in any previously licensed pneumococcal vaccine.
