Description
Summary:•PCV13 effectiveness since its inclusion in the Community of Madrid in 2010.•PCV13 implementation led to the almost total disappearance of serotype 19A.•Near-elimination of serotype 19A caused disappearance of all related meningitis cases.•Near-elimination of serotype 19A caused a decrease in antibiotic resistance.•PCV13 did not cause replacement by other serotypes not covered by the vaccine. Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Using the data from the HERACLES clinical surveillance study (2007–2016), we describe the population impact of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PVC13) on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in children
