Abstract
Vaccination against invasive pneumococcal disease is recommended for older adults but the optimal age group to target has not been determined and may vary by epidemiological setting. Here, the authors use statistical modelling to estimate the optimal ages for vaccination in Brazil, England, Malawi, and South Africa.
