Abstract

This study presents the first comprehensive genomic analysis of the serotype 19A population in Bangladesh, supporting the decision to introduce PCV10 in Bangladesh based on local pneumococcal serotype burden data. However, the rapid evolution within the local 19A population highlights the need for continuous epidemiological and genomic surveillance to support effective vaccination programs.
