Abstract: Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the leading causes of serious morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in young children and the elderly. In this study, a model of the spread and control of bacterial pneumonia under public health interventions that involve treatment and vaccination is formulated. It is found out that the model exhibits the disease‐free and endemic equilibria. The disease‐free equilibrium is stable if and only if the basic reproduction number R0
