Abstract
A future Group B Streptococcal (GBS) vaccine for pregnant women to protect neonates is likely to be licensed based on evidence of vaccine induced protective antibody levels. Post licensure surveillance to monitor the impact of any future vaccine on GBS disease therefore needs to be clearly defined (in both high and low income settings). A priority research gap is understanding health system preparedness for a GBS vaccine evaluation This expert stakeholder evaluation aimed to describe the UK and Uganda's operational strengths and gaps relevant to post-licensure GBS vaccine studies.
