Of the seven cases whohad received ≥1 dose of PCV-7 and had disease due to a PCV-7 type, five had serotype 19Fdisease, one had type 6B disease and one had type 14 disease.There has been some <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> IPD caused by non-PCV-7 serotypes s<strong>in</strong>ce the <strong>in</strong>troductionof PCV-7.
