3 Adult Vaccinations What s new? What s needed? Zoster Vaccine Conjugated Pneumococcal Vaccine New Influenza Vaccines Pertusis Anti smoking vaccine Staphylococcal Vaccine Military Vaccines

4 Shingles: A Painful Vesicular Eruption in a Dermatomal Distribution

5 Annual Incidence of Herpes Zoster by Age Decile per 1000 Manitobans 2003/ Incidence per Age (years) By age 85 yrs, 25% will experience an episode of HZ

6 Studies demonstrating that exposure to chickenpox reduces risk of HZ Hope Simpson (1965); Solomon (1998), Terada (1998) Pediatricians exposed to CP have reduced rates of HZ Gershon (1996) Rate HZ lower in vaccinated children with household exposure to chickenpox Thomas (2002) Case control study demonstrated protection against HZ by exposure to children and to varicella (with dose response relationship) Brisson (2002) Exposure to varicella in adult cohort protected against HZ

7 Brisson et al Vaccine 2002;20:2500 Living with children: 0.75 (0.63, 0.89)

8 HZ Causes Three Problems Acute pain until the HZ rash heals, approximately 4 weeks In HZ ophthalmicus, ocular damage including vision impairment and facial scarring Post herpetic neuralgia (PHN) The most common problem A therapeutic challenge

9 Treatments for Established PHN are not Uniformly Efficacious Amitrytiline 1 Gabapentin 2 Topical Capsaicin 3 Lidocaine 4 Transcutaneous nerve stimulation 5 1. Watson et al.

11 Antiviral Drugs May Reduce the Probability of PHN But Their Efficacy is Limited Acyclovir, famciclovir & valacyclovir Must be initiated less than 72 H after rash onset Cochrane Systematic Review: Acyclovir not effective Efficacy of famciclovir & valacyclovir not yet established Li et al. Cochrane Systematic Review 2009

12 Research Question To determine whether vaccination with a live attenuated VZV vaccine would decrease the incidence, severity, or both of HZ and PHN, in adults 60 years of age or older. PHN = pain > grade 3/10 persisting > 90 days after the rash began Oxman M et al. N Engl J Med 2005; 352:2271

13 Study Design Randomized 1:1 Zoster Vaccine or placebo Double blind, placebo controlled, multicenter trial 22 U.S. sites Study Timeline: Nov 1998 to April 2004 Enrolled 38,546 subjects 60 years of age Age stratified (60 to 69 years, 70 years) Oxman M et al. N Engl J Med 2005; 352:2271

14 Study Population All eligible subjects had a history of varicella or had resided in the U.S. for at least 30 years. Immunocompromised persons were excluded All subjects provided written consent Oxman M et al. N Engl J Med 2005; 352:2271

15 Intervention Vaccine type: Live attenuated OKA/MERCK VZV vaccine (Zoster Vaccine) Administration: Subcutaneous injection The minimal potency of the Zoster Vaccine was at least 14 times greater than the Varicella live attenuated Oka/Merck VZV vaccine. Oxman M et al. N Engl J Med 2005; 352:2271

16 Cumulative Incidence of HZ (%) Results Vaccine Efficacy: HZ incidence 6 VE =51% Placebo (n=642) HZ 5 p< Zoster Vaccine (n=315) Years of follow-up Oxman M et al. N Engl J Med 2005; 352:2271

20 Conclusions The HZ vaccine reduced the incidence of HZ by 51% The incidence of PHN was reduced by 67%

21 Effect was similar in those < 69 and those > 70 years old Well tolerated Recommended for prevention of HZ and its sequelae in U.S. adults > 60 years of age NACI guideline awaited

37 Invasive pneumococcal disease and cancer in Canada Adults 18 and over Lung Cancer Multiple myeloma Rate 11 / per year / per year / per year 69% of cases were caused by serotypes in the 23 valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine. 53 % of cases were caused by serotypes in 13 valent pneumococcal (investigational at the time of the study).

39 Current vaccine environment There are currently three available pneumococcal vaccines for adults in Canada: Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines (PPV) Pneumo 23 and Pneumovax 23, containing 25 μg of capsular polysaccharide from each of 23 pneumococcal serotypes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 8, 9N, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 17F, 18C, 19A, 19F, 20, 22F, 23F and 33F Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) Prevnar 13, composed of the purified polysaccharides of the capsular antigens of 13 pneumococcal serotypes: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F and 23F 50

40 NACI recommendations for high-risk adults Current recommendations are that PPV23 should be given to persons at high risk of IPD: 1 Individuals with a history of chronic lung disease (including smoking) Heart failure Chronic renal failure (including nephrotic syndrome) Chronic liver disease (including alcohol dependence and cirrhosis) Diabetes Asplenia/sickle cell disease Congenital or acquired immune deficiency Chronic cerebrospinal fluid leak Residents of long-term care facilities All those 65 years of age or older Recently, homelessness and injection drug abuse were added as indications National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI).

Cochrane Database Syst Rev (1): CD000422

42 PPV23 re-vaccination NACI guidelines do not recommend routinely re-vaccinating all adults who receive the polysaccharide vaccine as the data supporting re-vaccination is sparse. 1 The duration of protection has been estimated between 3 and 5 years 2 Thus, re-vaccination should be considered for those of any age at highest risk of invasive infection 1 If re-vaccination is carried out, it should be performed 5 years after the first dose 1 1.
