Abstract
OBJECTIVE: In 2002, a mass immunization campaign using the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) was carried out in Nunavik to control an outbreak caused by a virulent clone of serotype 1 Streptococcus pneumoniae. At the same time, the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) was introduced for routine immunization of infants, replaced by the 10-valent vaccine (PCV10) in 2009, and the 13-valent vaccine (PCV13) in 2011. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in relation to pneumococcal vaccine use. METHOD: Retrospective analysis of IPD cases identified by the Quebec Public Health Laboratory during the period 1997-2016. RESULTS: One hundred thirty-two IPD cases were identified during the study period. In adults, serotype 1 incidence decreased following the 2002 PPV23 mass campaign, but breakthrough cases occurred. Following PCV use, the incidence of vaccine-type IPD decreased markedly in children and also in adults but serotypes not covered by conjugate vaccines increased. The overall IPD rate was 43/100,000 person-years in the 1997-1999 pre-vaccine era and 58/100,000 person-years in 2010-2016. CONCLUSIONS: The 2002 PPV23 mass immunization campaign may have contributed to control the serotype 1 outbreaks in Nunavik, but its effect was short-lived as IPDs caused by serotypes included in this vaccine continued to occur after 2005. PCV use in children induced important modifications in the epidemiology of IPD, but most of the benefits were eroded by serotype replacement.
