However, due to increasing demand and competition for clinical rotation sites, no guarantees can be made that requests will be fulfilled. Can I develop my own clinical rotation sites? Students may suggest a clinical site to be developed but ultimately it is the Programâs decision if, when, and how a site is selected for development. Physician Assistant Studies
Pneumococcal (noo-mo-ca-cul) disease includes a number of illnesses caused by common bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus). These bacteria may cause diseases that can affect essential parts of your body.
More than 90 different strains of the pneumococcal bacterium have been identified, though only 8 to 10 of them cause the most serious infections. The childhood vaccine (PCV) protects against 13 strains of the pneumococcal bacterium, while the adult vaccine (PPV) protects against 23 strains. The pneumococcal vaccine is thought to be around 50-70% effective at preventing pneumococcal disease.
