Eurosurveillance | Anticipating impact of implementing PCV20 or PCV21 vaccines for older adults in the immunisation programme for invasive pneumococcal disease, using nationwide surveillance data, Israel, 2009 to 2024 BACKGROUND Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) have reduced vaccine-type (VT) invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in older adults through direct and indirect effects. However, non-vaccine-type serotypes have emerged. Since the recently licensed PCV20 and PCV21 vaccines differ in serotype composition, epidemiological data are essential to guide adult vaccination policy. AIM We aimed to assess serotype-specific IPD dynamics in older adults in Israel and evaluate the potential impact of implementing either the PCV20 or PCV21 vaccine in the adult National Immunisation Programme (NIP). METHODS In a national active IPD surveillance study in Israel, 2009–2024, on adults aged ≥ 65 years, IPD incidence per 100,000 population was assessed by age group, individual serotype and VT group. RESULTS We recorded 3,553 IPD episodes. All-IPD incidence was relatively stable between 2014/15 and 2023/24, excluding the COVID-19 period. In the late PCV13 period (2014–2019, 1,210 IPD episodes) and late/post COVID-19 pandemic (2021-2024, 608 episodes) periods, incidence of serotypes unique to PCV21 (VT21-only) was consistently higher than that of those unique to PCV20 (VT20-only). During 2022–2024, VT21-only IPD constituted 25.5% of all-IPD cases compared with 10.9% for VT20-only. Of the VT20-only serotypes, serotype 14 showed the highest late/post-pandemic incidence (1.76 per 100,000). CONCLUSIONS The PCV21 vaccine currently demonstrates broader serotype coverage than PCV20 among older adults in Israel. However, the spectrum of serotypes only partially overlap. Potential further serotype-specific dynamics following PCV20 implementation in the paediatric NIP and unknown actual effectiveness of newly introduced vaccine serotypes make it difficult to accurately predict impact following implementation.

Eurosurveillance | Clinical and economic benefits of seasonal COVID-19 vaccination in Germany: results from the ROUTINE-COV19 Study, September 2022 to March 2024 BACKGROUND Vaccinations against COVID-19 were integrated into routine care in Germany in April 2023. However, evidence of the impact of seasonal vaccination remains limited. AIM To assess the clinical and economic impact of COVID-19 vaccination in routine care during the early SARS-CoV-2-endemic phase in Germany. METHODS A retrospective cohort study using statutory health insurance data from two German federal states (Saxony and Thuringia), covering over 3 million individuals, was conducted. Adults aged ≥ 18 years vaccinated against COVID-19 between 1 September and 30 November 2023 were matched 1:1 with unvaccinated individuals using propensity scores. Outcomes during the 4-month follow-up included occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 infection, long COVID, other respiratory infections, hospitalisations, mortality, healthcare costs and indirect costs caused by sick leave. Rate and hazard ratios (RR, HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Sensitivity analyses tested robustness. RESULTS A total of 146,132 individuals (73,066 per group) were matched. COVID-19 vaccination was associated with reduced rates of long COVID (RR: 0.43; 95% CI: 0.26–0.70), respiratory infections (RR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.87–0.95) and COVID-19-related hospitalisations (RR: 0.41; 95% CI: 0.31–0.54). All-cause mortality was 25% lower among COVID-19-vaccinated individuals (HR: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.70–0.82). Healthcare costs were lower in the vaccinated cohort, particularly for inpatient care, e.g. EUR 1 million savings in COVID-19-related hospitalisations. Indirect costs caused by sick leave were also reduced by EUR 1.3 million. CONCLUSION Seasonal COVID-19 vaccinations in routine care settings were associated with substantial clinical and economic benefits. These real-world findings support continued implementation of national immunisation recommendations during the endemic phase of SARS-CoV-2 circulation.

Die Zuzahlungen für Medikamente würden zudem erhöht auf die Sätze von 7,50 bis 15 Euro je nach Packung. Homöopathie sowie das Hautkrebs-Screening stehen als Kassenleistungen auf dem Prüfstand. Auch beim Krankengeld soll es Abstriche geben. Die Krankenkassen dürften nur so viel ausgeben, wie sie einnähmen, so die Ministerin. Ziel sei ein stabiler Beitragssatz.
