Abstract
⺠A prospective nationwide IPD surveillance has been conducted in Israeli children for >20 years. ⺠IPD incidence rapidly declined in children <5 years old following PCV7 introduction. ⺠No serotype replacement was observed so far. ⺠Our results compare favorably with other programs, using either 3 + 1 or 2 + 1 regimens. ⺠PCV13 introduction into the NIP could lead to a further decrease in IPD rates.
