TLDR
Early data regarding changing fromPCV7 to PCV13 use in the childhood vaccination calendar indicate that reductions in IR of bacteremic pneumonia and meningitis after PCV7 introduction further decreased and there was a reversion of the increase inIR of parapneumonic pneumococcal empyema from 2010-2011, mainly because of reduction in serotype 1 and 19A cases.
Abstract
Background:Differences in invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in children are expected after a change from 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) to 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13). Universal vaccination with PCV7 started in Madrid in November 2006, and it switched to PCV13

Pneumococcal serotype evolution in Western Europe

TL;DR: There is no single ‘19A-like’ serotype emerging across countries and most of the newly emerging non-PCV13 vaccine types are less invasive with a low case-carrier ratio, compared with the time before the introduction of higher valent PCVs.

Impact of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccines on invasive pneumococcal disease in France, 2001–2012

TL;DR: Considering the whole 2001-2012 period, the vaccination with PCV7 and PCV13 resulted in a decline in the incidence of IPD in children up to the age of 5 but not in older children and adults.

Early impact of sequential introduction of 7-valent and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on IPD in Israeli children <5 years: an active prospective nationwide surveillance.

TL;DR: After initiation of PCV NIP, a rapid and substantial 2-step IPD reduction was observed in children <5 years, and the serotype-specific rate reduction reflected the sequential introduction ofPCV7/PCV13.

Pneumococcal empyema and complicated pneumonias: global trends in incidence, prevalence, and serotype epidemiology

TL;DR: The reported incidence and proportions of CPP among pneumonia cases steadily increased from 1990 to 2012, and changes in the prevalence of serotypes with capacity to invade the pleural space that were not targeted by the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7).

A multilocus sequence typing scheme for Streptococcus pneumoniae: identification of clones associated with serious invasive disease

TL;DR: A pneumococcal multilocus sequence typing scheme and database is developed by sequencing approximately 450 bp fragments of seven housekeeping loci from 295 isolates to provide an allelic profile, or sequence type (ST), and the relatedness between isolates was obtained by constructing a dendrogram from the matrix of pairwise differences between STs.

Herd immunity and serotype replacement 4 years after seven-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccination in England and Wales: an observational cohort study

TL;DR: Despite much serotype replacement, a substantial reduction in invasive pneumococcal disease in young children can be achieved with PCV7 vaccination, with some indirect benefit in older age groups.
