(NASDAQ:PCVX). The update comes amid speculation regarding the potential effects on pneumococcal vaccine developers following the upcoming meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Carter Gould explained the firm’s position on Vaxcyte Inc. (NASDAQ:PCVX), pointing out that the upcoming ACIP meeting is unlikely to focus much on pneumococcal disease.

Gould also noted that the potential approval and ACIP recommendation of Vaxcyte’s vaccination efforts are still a few years away.

The analyst also highlighted the strength of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) data from Vaxcyte Inc. (NASDAQ:PCVX). Gould said that the robustness of this evidence makes a compelling case for sticking with tried-and-true vaccination practices.
