“…We assessed the differences in the prevalences of pneumococcal serotypes between two postimplementation periods by comparing the PreVac period (2009 to 2011) to both the PostVac-I (2012 to 2014) and PostVac-II (2015 to 2017) periods. The relatively rapid establishment of herd protection and the decline of VTs in adults (29, 30, 33) could partly be explained by the high vaccine uptake in Iceland, a country where vaccines are generally well accepted (35). However, serotype replacement of NVTs has been observed where PCVs have been implemented (3638), and this was also the case in our study, although serotype replacement was significant only in adults aged 18 to 64 years.…”

“…PCVs were not part of the routine infant immunization program before PHiD-CV implementation in 2011. Since then, vaccine acceptance and the uptake of PCVs have been high ( 73 , 74 ). In our study, we analyzed a large number of pneumococcal isolates representative of the Icelandic population.…”

“…during increasingly widespread use of antibiotics [ 5 ]. The last measles epidemic in Iceland was in 1977 and immunisation coverage in Iceland is very high [ 23 , 24 ]. This has obviously contributed to declining incidence of fatal infections in Icelandic children [ 25 27 ].…”
