International recognition of Synflorix based on rigorous evidence reviews

The use of Synflorix is supported by recommendations of trusted, independent international bodies

“There is at present no evidence of different net impact on overall disease burden between the 2 products [Synflorix and PCV13].

PCV13 may have additional benefit in settings where disease attributable to serotype 19A (ST19A) or serotype 6C (ST6C) is significant.” 12

Current evidence does not indicate an added benefit with one vaccine over the other* 3

“Available evidence to date indicates significant impact of both [Synflorix] and PCV13 in the outcomes studied, with no evidence of the superiority of one vaccine over the other on pneumonia, IPD or meningitis hospitalization reduction in children under 5 years old.” 4

Pls watch the video below to get details on International health authority review conclusions on the impact and effectiveness of PCVs.
