Abstract
⺠We assess the hospital cost of children with invasive pneumococcal pneumonia. ⺠Non-PCV7 serotypes were associated with a high cost of disease. ⺠Complications, intensive care and surgical procedures determine higher costs. ⺠Hospital costs could be mitigated with PCV13 universal childhood vaccination.
