*Cases are number of patients included in a study covering ≈25% of the Dutch population. Pre-implementations period, June 2004–May 2006; post-implementation period, June 2008–May 2010. Boldface, significant difference (p<0.05, calculated by χ2 test) compared with otherwise healthy patients. PCV7, 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; NA, not applicable; NS, not significant (p>0.05). †Immunocompromising condition: primary immunodeficiency, HIV/AIDS, lymphoma, leukemia, myeloma, solid organ or stem cell transplant, current immunosuppressive therapy for malignancy or autoimmune disease, asplenia/splenectomy, sickle cell disease, and renal insufficiency (dialysis required and nephrotic syndrome). ‡Any comorbidity: malignancies (within previous 5 y) not considered to be immunocompromising; chronic pulmonary disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma); diabetes mellitus; cardiovascular disease (myocardial infarction, coronary artery condition, stroke/transient ischemic attack, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, heart valve disease, and presence of cerebral/abdominal/thoracic aneurysms); thyroid disease; liver disease; intravenous drug use; long-term alcohol abuse; cerebrospinal fluid leak; recent physical trauma/skull fracture; and, for children, premature birth (<37 weeks for children 0–1 y old and <32 weeks for children 0–4 y old).
