A vaccine has been licenced that reduces ear disease. A harmless bacterium masquerades as the pathogen responsible for ear disease, nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), leading to inaccurate surveillance of ear disease. This project will measure the true proportion of NTHi in ears and noses to help policy decisions regarding the introduction of the vaccine to Western Australia. We will be able to assess the impact this vaccine has had in the Northern Territory since implementation in 2009.

一种可以减少耳部疾病的疫苗已获得许可。一种无害的细菌伪装成导致耳部疾病的病原体，即无法分型的流感嗜血杆菌 (NTHi)，从而导致对耳部疾病的监测不准确。该项目将测量耳朵和鼻子中 NTHi 的真实比例，以帮助制定有关将疫苗引入西澳大利亚的政策决策。我们将能够评估该疫苗自 2009 年实施以来对北领地的影响。
