Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Using the data from the HERACLES clinical surveillance study (2007-2016), we describe the population impact of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PVC13) on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in children <15 years of age in the Community of Madrid, Spain. After six years of the inclusion of PCV13 in the vaccination calendar (2010-2016), and despite changes in the Regional Immunization Programme that limited its availability, the net benefit incidence rate (IR) of IPD fell by 70.1% (IRR 0.3 [95% CI: 0.22-0.4]; p ≤ 0.001), mainly due to a significant reduction (91%) in the PCV13 serotypes (IRR 0.09 [95% CI: 0.05-0.16], p ≤ 0.001). Furthermore, no significant changes were detected in the IR of IPD caused by non-PCV13 serotypes. The IRs of the aggressive, resistant and most prevalent serotype in the analysed population, the 19A serotype, dramatically decreased from the beginning to the end of the study (98%) [IRR 0.03 (95% CI: 0.00-0.19), p ≤ 0.001], to its almost total disappearance. Remarkably, this reduction led to a pronounced decline in the percentage of cefotaxime-resistant isolates and the incidence of meningitis cases. Assessment of the clinical impact revealed a reduction in the number of all clinical presentations of IPD, confirming the effectiveness of the PCV13. Finally, PCV13 detected by PCR is predicted to have a stronger impact than the one based on culture methods, which can overlook more than 20% of cases of IPD, mainly pleural empyemas.
