  • Data are presented as incidence rates (interquartile range), unless otherwise stated. IRR: incidence rate ratio; CAP: community-acquired pneumonia; PCV7 CAP: CAP due to serotypes included in the PCV7 vaccine; additional PCV13 CAP: CAP due to serotypes included in the PCV13 vaccine; other CAP: CAP due to “other” serotypes. #: years 2008–2009; : years 2010–2013; +: per 100 000 population. Bold indicates statistically significant.
