Coadministration of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate and quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccines in adults previously immunized with polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine 23: a randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT: Immune responses to 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (QIV) in older adults may vary with coadministration and previous pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccination. This study assessed safety and noninferiority of immune responses to coadministered PCV13 and QIV compared with each vaccine given alone. Adults ≥50 years old preimmunized with ≥1 dose of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) ≥1 year before enrollment were randomized 1:1 to receive PCV13+QIV then placebo 1 month later or placebo+QIV then PCV13 1 month later. Administration of PCV13 and placebo was blinded; QIV was administered open-label. Pneumococcal serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) 1 month after PCV13, and
