Invasive pneumococcal disease surveillance, 1 April to 30 June 2016.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The number of notified cases of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in the 2nd quarter of 2016 was substantially more than the previous quarter and marginally more than the number of notified cases in the 2nd quarter of 2015. Overall, the decline in disease due to the serotypes targeted by the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (13vPCV) has been maintained across all age groups, since the 13vPCV replaced the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (7vPCV) in the childhood immunisation program from July 2011.
