The role of pneumococcal vaccine in canadian family practice.
In March 1978 pneumococcal vaccine became available on the Canadian market. The prescribing information supplied by the drug company is reviewed, along with a national survey of 1975 incidence, a 15 year autopsy survey for pneumococcal disease at a large general hospital and a review of pneumococcal disease in a family medicine centre population of 12,900. Recommendations for usage are made based on current knowledge of the Canadian situation and the recommendations of the National Advisory Committee on immunization.
