Abstract Geographic variations of invasive pneumococcal disease incidence and serotype distributions were observed after pneumococcal conjugate vaccine introduction at regional levels and among French administrative areas. The variations could be related to regional vaccine coverage (VC) variations that might have direct consequences for vaccination-policy impact on invasive pneumococcal disease, particularly pneumococcal meningitis (PM) incidence. We assessed vaccine impact from 2001 to 2016 in France by estimating the contribution of regional VC differences to variations of annual local PM incidence. Using a mixed-effect Poisson model, we showed that, despite some variations of VC among administrative areas, vaccine impact on vaccine-serotype PM was homogeneously confirmed among administrative areas. Compared with the prevaccine era, the cumulative VC impact on vaccine serotypes led, in 2016, to PM reductions ranging among regions from 87% (25th percentile) to 91% (75th percentile) for 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine serotypes and from 58% to 63% for the 6 additional 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine serotypes. Nonvaccine-serotype PM increases from the prevaccine era ranged among areas from 98% to 127%. By taking into account the cumulative impact of growing VC and VC differences, our analyses confirmed high vaccine impact on vaccine-serotype PM case rates and suggest that VC variations cannot explain PM administrative area differences.

Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines reduce the burden of invasive pneumococcal disease, but the sustained effect of these vaccines can be diminished by an increase in disease caused by non-vaccine serotypes. To describe pneumococcal serotype epidemiology in Botswana following introduction of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV-13) in July 2012, we performed molecular serotyping of 268 pneumococcal strains isolated from 221 children between 2012 and 2017. The median (interquartile range) age of the children included in this analysis was 6 (3,12) months. Fifty-nine percent of the children had received at least one dose of PCV-13 and 35% were fully vaccinated with PCV-13. While colonization by vaccine serotypes steadily declined following PCV-13 introduction, 25% of strains isolated more than 3 years after vaccine introduction were PCV-13 serotypes. We also observed an increase in colonization by non-vaccine serotypes 21 and 23B, which have been associated with invasive pneumococcal disease and antibiotic resistance in other settings.

AbstractBackgroundInvasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in young infants is uncommon but associated with high morbidity and mortality. Accurate data on the burden of IPD in young infants in low-income countries are lacking. We examined the burden of IPD in infants aged <90 days in Blantyre, Malawi over a 14 year period and evaluated the impact of the 12 November 2011 introduction of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) on vaccine-serotype IPD (VT-IPD) in this population.MethodsWe conducted laboratory-based prospective IPD surveillance in infants aged <90 days admitted to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH) in Blantyre between 2005 and 2018, including 7 years pre- and 7 years post-PCV13 introduction. IPD was defined as Streptococcus pneumoniae identified by culture from blood or cerebrospinal fluid. Serotypes were determined by multiplex PCR and latex agglutination testing.ResultsWe identified 130 cases of culture-confirmed IPD in infants <90 days old between 2005-2018. Total IPD incidence was declining prior to PCV13 introduction. The mean incidence of IPD was significantly lower in the post-PCV era. Serotypes 5 (27.8%) and 1(15.6%), were most prevalent. Even after PCV13 introduction, VT-IPD remained dominant with serotype 5 accounting for 17.4% and serotype 1 for 13% of cases in young infants.ConclusionVaccine serotypes were the main cause of IPD in neonates and young infants, both before and after PCV13 introduction. Further strategies need to be considered to protect this vulnerable population, including maternal or neonatal immunization and implementation of an alternative PCV schedule with a booster dose.SummaryThe incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease in infants in Blantyre, Malawi has declined over the past decade and more significantly after introduction of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. Vaccine serotypes have remained the main cause of disease in this population.

In 2010 in Latvia, invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) became a cause for concern and vaccination of infants with four doses of 7–valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) commenced. In 2012, 10–valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10) (three doses at 2, 4, and 12–15 month of age) vaccination was introduced. We described incidence and serotype distribution of IPD in Latvia and investigated serotypes associated with death from IPD based on surveillance data. Adult vaccination against pneumococcal infection is not included in the national immunization program. Laboratory confirmed IPD cases are passively notified to the Center for Disease Prevention and Control of Latvia (CDPC) by laboratories and clinicians. We calculated incidence by age, sex, case fatality, and trend in serotypes by conducting a retrospective population-based cross-sectional study based on national IPD surveillance data. From 2012 to 2018 466 cases of IPD were reported. The highest notified incidence was in 2015 at 4.4/100,000, which fell to 3.9 in 2018. The highest mean annual IPD incidence was in infants (4.8) and in the elderly (6.0). PCV10 vaccine serotypes were the most prevalent in IPD cases up to 2015 with a decreasing trend from 50% (20/40) in 2012 to 19% (14/74) in 2018 (chi2 test for trend of odds = 0.000). PCV23nonPCV13 vaccine serotypes had an increasing trend and rose from 18% (7/40) to 34% (25/74) (chi2 test for trend of odds = 0.000). Non-Vaccine serotypes had an increasing trend and rose from 13% (5/40) to 27% (20/74) (chi2 test for trend of odds = 0.038). Reported total case fatality was 19% (87/466). The highest, at 36% (20/56), was reported in 2013. After adjusting for age, Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 3 was associated with death from IPD (adjusted OR 2.3 95%CI 1.25–4.12 p 0.007). Surveillance data indicate evidence of serotype replacement with an increasing trend of serotype 19A and PPV23nonPCV13 and Non-Vaccine serotypes. Serotype 3 and age were associated with fatal IPD outcome. Further studies of S. pneumoniae carriage would be useful in providing more evidence to characterize serotypes' circulation.

Abstract Background Routine use of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) has been recommended for infants since early 2010 and for adults ≥65 years since 2014 when KPNC began routine use of PCV13 in adults. PCV13 vaccine effectiveness (VE) against vaccine-type invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) has been demonstrated; however, recent surveillance data have been interpreted as showing limited population-level impact of PCV13 on serotype 3 IPD. We estimated PCV13 VE against IPD due to vaccine serotypes at Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC). Methods The study period spanned September 2014 through September 2018. The cohort included KPNC members who were aged ≥65 years with no record of pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) receipt before age 65 years. We compared IPD cases with KPNC members who were the same age on the date of the positive pneumococcal culture using conditional logistic regression, conditioned on age and date, and controlled for sex, race, KPNC service area and membership history, prior season influenza vaccine receipt, PPV23 receipt after age 65 years, risk factors for IPD, and healthcare utilization. Results From September 2014 to September 2018, PCV13 vaccine coverage among persons ≥65 years old increased from < 1% to 77%. During the same period, there was a total of 245 IPD cases. For a variety of reasons, we did not have serotype results for 57 (23%) IPD cases, which were excluded from the analysis. There were 61 (25%) PCV13-type IPD cases included in the analysis, of which 33 (14%) were serotype 3. PCV13 VE against PCV13-type serotypes was 68.0% (95% CI: 37.7%, 83.6%; P-value < 0.01), and 53.4% (95% CI: −10.0%, 80.3%; P = 0.08) against serotype 3. Conclusion During the first 4 years of PCV13 vaccination implementation in adults ≥65 years of age at KPNC, PCV13 provided significant protection against PCV13-type IPD. Further surveillance will allow for more precise estimation of PCV13 VE on overall and serotype 3 IPD over time. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.
