Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) have decreased pneumonia in children. Colombia introduced mass vaccination with PCV10 2012. Cases of pneumococcal from 10 hospitals were included. Two periods compared: pre-PCV10: 2008–2011 and post-PCV10: 2014–2019. The objective was to compare epidemiological clinical characteristics before after vaccination. A total 370 cases Serotypes 1 (15, 11.2%) 14 (33, 24.6%) the most frequent pre-PCV10 period, only 4 (3%) serotype 19A case (0.7%) 3. From period...
