We have had a major input in evaluating the effectiveness and wider impact of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10) in Kenya, including studies of the effect on carriage, invasive disease, burden of pneumonia and pathogen structure. We are expanding our platform of surveillance to incorporate assessments of the safety of EPI vaccines, direct and indirect effects of rotavirus vaccination, and studies of the non-specific effects of vaccination. We will examine the epidemiology of invasive salmonella infection and salmonella carriage in children and adults, and participate in the clinical development of a whole cell pneumococcal vaccine which is serotype independent.
