#ISPPD12 would like to recognize the abstracts and e-posters that were submitted for the postponed June 2020 conference, and we have made them available online for free! Please see our Digital Library for the latest in pneumococcal research: isppd.kenes.com/digital-librar…

Today was supposed to be the first day of #ISPPD12. We still look forward to hosting world class experts and researchers in pneumococcus in Toronto in 2021!

@Dr_Jim_Kellner Looking forward to hosting you as well!

@awyllie13 We will miss you -- save the enthusiasm for June 2021!

I had been so desperately hanging out for this for months now. This conference is definitely a highlight for me. Was hoping its late June date would see it spared. Shout out to everyone who worked so hard on it and the hard decision that had to be made @ISPPD_Symposium #ISPPD2020

#ISPPD2020 has been postponed to June 20-24, 2021 given the evolving COVID-19 situation. See isppd.kenes.com/covid-19-updat… for further details. The ISPPD community is a very international one and your health and safety is our main priority in planning this event.

The ISPPD Symposium organizers are closely monitoring the #COVID19 situation. Please see here for the most up-to-date details regarding #ISPPD2020: isppd2020.kenes.com/general-inform…

Cross-sectional pneumococcal carriage survey following the introduction of a PCV-10 vaccination schedule (3+0) in Kenya. This study showed a significant decrease in PCV-10 serotypes in children <5 years, as well as HIV+ and HIV- adults. academic.oup.com/cid/article/70…

Congratulations to Professor Peter McIntyre, former NCIRS Director who was named an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in the 2020 Australia Day honours for his service to public health and medicine in Australia and overseas. ncirs.org.au/professor-pete…

Meta-analysis suggests IPD higher in all children with asthma, regardless of asthma severity and despite PCV. Should all kids with asthma receive polysaccharide vaccine (not just if prolonged high dose steroids as per current US guidelines)? pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/145/1/…
