Invasive pneumococcal infections identified in vaccinated U.S. children were primarily caused by disease resulting from serotypes not covered with PCV7, rather than failure of the vaccine. Incomplete vaccination and co-morbid conditions likely contribute to breakthrough vaccine-type pneumococcal infections.
