In the UK, adults aged 65 years are eligible for the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) as part of the national immunisation programme, and a 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20) was recently licensed for adults. Residents of care homes for older adults have a higher risk of IPD and death than the general population. We estimated the potential effect of an additional dose of PPV23 or PCV20 for new residents entering older adult care homes.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>In this observational surveillance study, we used national IPD surveillance and care home resident data from England. Care homes for older adults were defined as residential care and nursing homes registered with the Care Quality Commission for adults aged 65 years and older. IPD in adults aged 65 years and older in England was assessed in the 2022–23 epidemiological year (July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023) by sex and 5-year age bands using data obtained from UK Health Security Agency national IPD surveillance. We calculated the number needed to vaccinate (NNV) with PPV23 or PCV20 in the population of new care home residents to prevent one vaccine-type IPD case and one death compared with adults aged 65 years who were vaccinated as part of the national immunisation programme in England.</div></div><div><h3>Findings</h3><div>In 2022–23, there were 2574 IPD cases among 10 629 867 people aged 65 years and older in England.

Under the assumption of 36% vaccine effectiveness against PPV23-type IPD and 18% vaccine effectiveness against death, PPV23, when offered to all 603 109 adults aged 65 years in the general population, could prevent 163 (36%) of 452 cases (NNV 3700) and 31 (47%) of 66 PPV23-type IPD associated deaths over 5 years (NNV 19 455).

In all adults aged 65 years in the general population, PCV20 could prevent 303 (75%) of 404 cases (NNV 1990) and 43 (80%) of 54 PCV20-type IPD deaths (NNV 14 026), assuming 75% vaccine effectiveness against PCV20-type IPD and 18% against death.
