Invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is a serious and life-threatening condition. Introduction of the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV-7) in young children in the USA and many other countries was associated with a reduction in IPD, especially on PCV-7-associated serotypes.

Furthermore, a decrease in IPD by herd effect on other age groups was also seen [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2005; Pittet and Posfay-Barbe, 2012]. However, replacement by other pneumococcal serotypes appeared (e.g. 19-A, 7F, 3, among others), and the use of a vaccine with Dacomitinib a wider serotype coverage was needed [McIntosh and Reinert, 2011; Rozenbaum et al. 2011]. Accordingly, the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV-13) was soon implemented in the USA, UK, and other developed and developing countries, with clear evidence of its effectiveness on IPD by most serotypes included in some countries where PCV-13 was introduced [Kaplan et al. 2013; van Hoek et al. 2014].
