A global resurgence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) has been observed in Australian children following relaxation of nonpharmaceutical interventions against COVID-19, causing significant morbidity and mortality even in vaccinated children without known risk factors. Almost half of the IPD cases were caused by serotypes not covered by the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
A global resurgence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) has been noted in children. We provide a detailed clinical and epidemiological analysis of IPD in Australian children following relaxation of nonpharmaceutical interventions against coronavirus disease 2019, revealing significant morbidity and mortality-even in vaccinated children without known predisposing risk factors. Almost half of the IPD cases were caused by serotypes not covered by the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
