Summary:Highlights • Routine pediatric PCV7 vaccination did not reduce in the incidence of IPD in adults in Toronto. • Use of PCV7 at 1 dose per child in the birth cohort resulted in significant reductions in PCV7 serotype IPD. • The case fatality rate of IPD decreased by 2% per year in Toronto between 1995 and 2011. • Post PCV13 program implementation, a substantial burden of IPD in adults will remain.
