Newly vaccinated infants will continue to make the largest contribution to the size of the pneumococcal vaccine market; however, significant growth will be due to increased vaccination uptake in adults. Despite Prevnar 13 dominating the market, Pneumovax will still retain the opportunity to be used as a booster vaccine.

The success of Prevnar 13 in the adult population will remain firmly hinged on the results of the large-scale CAPITA clinical trial being conducted in the Netherlands. Even if results are positive, Pfizer will still need to prove Prevnar 13 is cost effective by reducing the incidence of pneumococcal disease.
