Figure 2

Prevalence rate ratios of pneumococcal VT13, VT20–13, and NVT20 of all pneumococcal isolates in carriage, conjunctivitis, OM, and IPD in children <24 months of age, Israel, comparing the late PCV13 period (2015–2017) to the early PCV period (2009–2011). The comparison could not be done for carriage in healthy children due to the nonavailability of data for the early PCV period. p<0.05 for all comparisons. Error bars indicate 95% CIs. IPD, invasive pneumococcal disease; LRTI, lower respiratory tract infection; NVT, nonvaccine serotype; OM, otitis media; PCV, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; PCV13, 13-valent PCV; VT, vaccine serotype.
