The 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) has been recommended in France since June 2010. The aim of this study was to evaluate the trends in the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) resulting in hospitalization of children younger than 18 years of age, to identify the vaccination status of these patients and to analyze the serotypic evolution of the pneumococci involved in the various types of IPD.
