Sequence-based strain surveillance of Streptococcus pneumoniae in 2017
Sequence-based strain surveillance of Streptococcus pneumoniae in 2017
Prevalence of pneumococcal serotypes in persons ≥5 years of age in the United States in 2017 and corresponding coverage by pneumococcal vaccines. The bars indicate the relative prevalence of each serotype among S. pneumoniae obtained from multistate surveillance in 2017. Arrows highlight the 3 pneumococcal serotypes that are included in PPSV23 and are absent from PCV20.
