Introduction of heptavalent pneumococal conjugated vaccine was followed by substantial reduction of pneumococcal diseases in
children and adults. Research on additional pneumocccal vaccines was inspired by increasing incidence of non-vaccine serotypes. The
registrations derived from non-inferiority to PCV7 have been broadened to real clinical trials. Clinical trial FinIP aimed to the onset of
IPD in Finland has been still the first study confirming the effectiveness of PCV10 against IPD. The reported overall efficacy against vaccine
and non-vaccine serotypes was 93% (95 % CI 75–99). High efficacy of PCV10 against IPD in Finland is promising in terms of similar
epidemiological situation concerning pneumococcal diseases in the Czech Republic.
