Abstract

Authors' conclusions: routine vaccination with 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine decreases the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease.

Reviewers' commentary: vaccination with the PCV13 appears more effective than PCV7, although it would be interesting to study the cost-effectiveness of the vaccine and the possible increase of other serotypes causing infection.
