Secondary bacterial infections due to Streptococcus pneumo-niae and Staphylococcus aureus, responsible for excess mor-bidity and mortality during influenza epidemics, are often preceded by excess bacterial density within the upper respira-tory tract. Influenza and pneumococcal vaccines reduce sec-ondary infections within the lungs; however, their effects on upper respiratory tract carriage remain unknown. We dem-onstrate that a live attenuated influenza vaccine significantly reduces pneumococcal growth and duration of carriage dur-ing subsequent influenza to levels seen in influenza-naive controls. No benefit was seen after pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. Our results suggest that live attenuated influenza vaccines may significantly reduce b...
