Trends in incidence of serotypes causing invasive pneumococcal disease associated with recent significantly increasing incidence in North East England, by quarter, April 2006–March 2016. Panels show trends by individual serotypes: A) serotype 8; B) serotype 9N; C) serotype 12F; D) serotype 15A; E) serotype 23F; F) serotype 35F. Bars show observed numbers of cases; broken lines show the percentage of all serotype group cases (A–C PPV23–13; D–F NVT); solid lines show counts of cases predicted by a

NVT, nonvaccine type serotype cases; PPV23-13, 23–valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine serotype cases excluding those also contained in the 13–valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
