A Retrospective Study of the Impact of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine-13 Immunization in a Northern Israel Hospital.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings are consistent with other studies reporting decreased pneumococcal bacteremia, bacteremia primarily accompanying focal infection, and changing etiological agents among PCV-13-vaccinated children. Brucella species was prominent in older children with osteoarticular infections. Ongoing surveillance is warranted to better understand the implications of PCV-13.
