#ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) condition includes: asplenia; sickle cell anaemia; chronic lung, renal, liver or cardiac disease; diabetes; solid organ transplant; primary immunodeficiency syndromes; immunomodulation therapy; malignancies; head injuries with CSF leak; alcohol dependency and smoking.

^Penicillin non-susceptibility was associated with cotrimoxazole non-susceptibility thus it was not included in the final multivariate model.

*PCV13 (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine-13 valent) serotypes include: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 23F.

**PPV23 (Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine-23 valent) serotypes include: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 8, 9N, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 17F, 18C, 19A, 19F, 20, 22F, 23F, 33F,(6A cross protection is assumed).
