Abstract
We compared the immunogenicity of 7-valent pneumococcal-conjugate vacc ine plus 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine to immunization with 23-valent vaccine only in individuals greater than or equal to 2 years of age w ith sickle cell disease. IgG pneumococcal antibody concentrations were higher in the combined schedule group with no increase in side effect s observed after immunization with 23-valent vaccine.
