These documents were withdrawn on 13th October 2014 because these particular graphs have been replaced by other and more current graphs showing the effect of PCV13 (which replaced PCV7 in April 2010 in the national vaccination schedule).

The graphs are based on week of isolation so numbers for the most recent weeks may not be complete. Number of reports of serotyped cases shown in the graphs are not adjusted to account for any change that may have occurred over time and between age groups in the proportion of all invasive pneumococcal disease cases that are serotyped.

The 7-valent conjugate vaccine was introduced into the childhood immunisation schedule on 4 September 2006, which corresponds with week 36 in the graphs.

The 13-valent conjugate vaccine was introduced into the childhood immunisation schedule on the 1 April 2010, which corresponds with week 13 in the graphs.
