What’s more, VAX-24 achieved a higher immune response to 16 of the 20 serotypes it shares with Prevnar 20. The company says that these four serotypes represent roughly 10–15% of bacteria causing pneumococcal disease in adults. This is in addition to its long-available pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine PPSV23.
