Quantification of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) herd effects are mainly performed on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) but there is conflicting evidence regarding herd effects of PCVs on non-IPD pneumococcal community-acquired pneumonia. This review summarizes the available literature on herd effects of PCVs on non-IPD pneumococcal community-acquired pneumonia.Entities:
