A Study to Evaluate Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine Effectiveness in Children with Type 1 Diabetes

Overview

About this study

Diabetics are at risk for invasive pneumococcal infections and are more likely to have severe outcomes with infection compared to the general population. The pneumococcal (PPSV23) vaccination is recommended for all people with type 1 diabetes, but whether the vaccine is beneficial for this population has not been established.  The purpose of this study is to determine if children with type 1 diabetes have adequate immune response to the PPSV23 vaccination and to assess factors affecting immune response through a pre and post vaccination blood sample.
