Abbreviations: GBS=Group B streptococcal disease; Hi=Haemophilus influenza type b; iGAS=invasive Group A streptococcal disease; IMD=invasive meningococcal disease; IPD=invasive pneumococcal disease.
1 For each disease, the total percentage of manifestation could be more than 100% due to the multiple manifestations for an individual case
2 For IPD, pneumonia refers to pneumonia with bacteremia
3 Due to the small total number of cases, the proportions of manifestation were not calculated for IMD and GBS of the newborn
4 The total number of cases where outcome information is available was: 254 (IPD), 103 (iGAS), 94 (Hi), 13 (IMD), and 7 (GBS)
