    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Nowadays, after licensure of the second generation new pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV10/PCV13). The epidemiology of the pneumococcal disease must be re-evaluated. The present study described incidence, lethality and serotype distribution of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in the general population of Tarragona's region (Spain) after licensure of these vaccines. METHODS: Retrospective study that included all cases of IPD (pneumococcus isolated in sterile sites) diagnosed among all-age individuals in the Spanish region of Tarragona (Tarragonés, Alt Camp and Baix Penedés counties) from 01/01/2012 to 31/12/2015. Incidence and lethality rates were estimated by age strata and globally. Similarly, it was determined the prevalence of IPD cases caused by serotypes included in the distinct formulations of multivalent conjugate vaccines (pcv7), PCV10 and PCV13) or 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23). RESULTS: A total of 171 IPD cases were observed, which means a global incidence (per 100,000 persons-year) of 10.82 (7.86 in ≤14 years, 5.94 in 15-64 years and 36.46 in ≥65 years; p<0.001). Overall lethality rate was 6.8% (none in children, 9,3% in people 15-64 years and 6.9% in people ≥65 years). A serotype was identified in 132 (77.2%) of the 171 studied samples. Serotype-vaccine coverages (cases due to vaccine-type serotypes) were 14.4%, 26.5%, 42.4% and 78.8% for the PCV7, PCV10, PCV13 and PPV23, respectively (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Incidence and lethality of IPD were intermediate-low in the region of Tarragona throughout 2012-2015. During this period, Serotype- vaccine coverage was almost double for the 23-valent than for the 13-valent vaccine.
