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.
