a

Results from the following studies were excluded from calculation of serotype subtotals and totals because monovalent vaccines were used in country during the surveillance period: Cuba (1963–2006), Hungary (1961–1981), WHO No. 4 (1970–1984), WHO No. 7 (1970–1984), and WHO No. 8 (1970–1984).

b

Results from study were excluded from calculation of subtotals and totals to avoid double-counting data from the same country in the same period reported by 2 separate studies.

c

Individuals reported in the article aged 15–24 years were categorized as older than 20 years.
