This video explains the need to administer vaccines to prevent against pneumococcal disease in humanitarian settings. It highlights the key findings from a study which considered the most effective and cost-effective pneumococcal vaccination strategies to reduce the disease burden in humanitarian settings. A single dose campaign administered to at least 80% of children under the age of five may prevent up to a third of severe pneumococcal disease for up to two years following vaccination. The impacts are even greater when all children under the age of 15 are vaccinated.
