Methods: Nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from well children 3 months to 5Y of age from Karachi, Pakistan as part of a pneumococcal carriage study to evaluate PCV-10 impact. Methods: To determine pneumococcal colonization, we recruited a convenience sample of residents of all ages from 8 rural villages and children aged <5 years at 2 urban pediatric clinics annually during 2008-2012; we determined their PCV13 vaccination status and obtained nasopharyngeal swab specimens. No conflict of interest ISPPD-9 / pneumonia 2014 Mar 9-13;3:1-286 Background: Using nasopharyngeal carriage as a marker of vaccine impact, pneumococcal colonisation and its relation to invasive disease and demographic attributes were examined in children, their parents, and older adults in the UK following the introduction of PCV7 and prior to PCV13.	./cache/cord-014608-g3p19coe.txt	./txt/cord-014608-g3p19coe.txt
