3 Introduction Since 17 October 2008, invsive pneumococcl disese (IPD) hs been notifible to the locl Medicl Officer of Helth under the Helth Act On 1 June 2008, pneumococcl conjugte vccine (PCV) ws dded to the New Zelnd childhood immunistion schedule. Initilly the 7-vlent conjugte vccine (PCV7), Prevenr, ws used. In July 2011, Prevenr ws replced on the schedule with the 10-vlent conjugte vccine (PCV10), Synflorix. In July 2014, Synflorix ws replced by the 13-vlent conjugte vccine (PCV13), Prevenr13. PCV10 includes the seven serotypes in PCV7 (4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F nd 23F) s well s serotypes 1, 5 nd 7F, nd cross-rectivity to serotype 19A. PCV13 includes the 10 serotypes in PCV10 s well s serotypes 3, 6A nd 19A. The recommended schedule is four doses, given t 6 weeks, 3 months, 5 months nd 15 months of ge. These qurterly reports re prt of n enhnced surveillnce progrmme to monitor the impct of PCV vccintion, including the chnges in vccine vlency, on the epidemiology of IPD in New Zelnd. Methods The dt presented in this report (including immunistion sttus) is bsed on the informtion recorded on EpiSurv, the ntionl notifible disese surveillnce system, s t 8 April Any chnges mde to EpiSurv dt by public helth unit stff fter this dte will not be reflected in this report. Denomintor dt used to determine ll disese rtes in this report ws derived from the 2015 nd 2016 mid-yer popultion estimtes published by Sttistics New Zelnd unless otherwise specified. Rtes hve not been clculted where there re fewer thn five notified cses in ny ctegory. The Fisher s exct test ws used to determine sttisticl significnce. Results re considered sttisticlly significnt when the P vlue is Streptococcus pneumonie isoltes re serotyped t ESR by the cpsulr ntigen rection (Neufeld test) using the Dnish system of nomenclture nd ser obtined from the Sttens Serum Institut. Methods hve not been estblished t ESR to identify the strin type when only pneumococcl DNA, rther thn n isolte, is vilble. Therefore, the serotype cn only be determined for culture-positive IPD cses. Serotype dt for invsive isoltes of S. pneumonie ws mtched with the relevnt IPD cse notifiction. Cse definition A cse of invsive pneumococcl disese is defined s: the isoltion of S. pneumonie from CSF, blood or other normlly sterile site; or the detection by nucleic cid mplifiction test of pneumococcl DNA in CSF, blood or other normlly sterile site; or positive newer-genertion S. pneumonie ntigen test on CSF or pleurl fluid. 1 1 A positive S. pneumonie ntigen test on pleurl fluid ws dded to the cse definition in mid-september Invsive Pneumococcl Disese Qurterly Report, Jnury Mrch

4 Number of notifictions Results There were 76 IPD cses notified in the Jnury Mrch 2017 qurter, compred with 60 cses in the sme qurter in IPD displys distinct sesonl pttern with winter pek nd summer trough (Figure 1). The notifiction rte for the ltest 12-month period ending Mrch 2017 (10.5 per 100,000 popultion, 493 cses) ws higher thn the rte for the previous 12-month period ending Mrch 2016 (9.7 per 100,000, 446 cses).

During the ltest 12-month period, the highest rte ws in the 65 yers ge group (28.6 per 100,000 popultion, 200 cses). Compring the ltest 12-month period with the previous 12-month period, there ws significnt increse in IPD cses in the <2 yers ge group (12 to 26 cses). Tble 1.

5 The distribution of IPD cses nd rtes by region is presented in Tble 2. There ws significnt increse in the rte in the Northern region in the ltest 12-month period compred with the previous 12-month period (9.7 to 12.6 per 100,000 popultion). At the DHB level, there ws significnt increse in the ltest 12-month period in Witemt DHB (5.7 to 10.0 per 100,000). Tble 2. Number of cses nd rtes of invsive pneumococcl disese by region Region Jn-Mr months ending Mr months ending Mr 2016 Cses Cses Rte Cses Rte Northern b Midlnd c Centrl d Southern e Totl Rte is expressed s cses per 100,000 popultion. b Includes Northlnd, Witemt, Aucklnd nd Counties Mnuku DHBs. c Includes Wikto, Lkes, By of Plenty, Tirwhiti nd Trnki DHBs. d Includes Hwke s By, Whngnui, MidCentrl, Hutt Vlley, Cpitl & Cost, Wirrp nd Nelson Mrlborough DHBs. e Includes West Cost, Cnterbury, South Cnterbury nd Southern DHBs. A culture ws received t ESR for serotyping from 71 (93.4%) of the 76 cses notified in the Jnury Mrch 2017 qurter. Tble 3 shows the number of IPD cses due to ech of the serotypes included in PCV7, PCV10 nd PCV13, nd due to non-pcv13 serotypes. The number of IPD cses due to PCV13 serotypes decresed 9.7% between the lst two 12-month periods (207 to 187 cses). In contrst, the number of IPD cses due to non-pcv13 serotypes incresed 26.0% between the lst two 12-month periods (223 to 281 cses). The increses in IPD due to non-pcv13 types occurred mostly in the 5 yers ge group (Tble 3). The four most prevlent serotypes during the lst 12 months were 19A, 22F, 7F nd 8. Between the lst two 12-month periods there ws little chnge in the totl number of cses due to types 19A, 22F or 7F, wheres the number of cses of type 8 disese incresed from 24 to 32. Notbly in the lst 12 months, six of the nine IPD cses in <2 yers ge group nd eight of the eleven cses in the 2-4 yers ge group were due to type 19A. This totl of 14 cses of 19A IPD in the <5 yers ge group is mrked increse on the totl of two cses due to this serotype in this ge group in the previous 12-month period (Tble 3). Type 19A ws the mjor contributor to the significnt increse in IPD in the <2 yers ge group between the lst two 12-month periods (Tble 1). Invsive Pneumococcl Disese Qurterly Report, Jnury Mrch

7 Tble 4 shows the immunistion sttus for cses notified in the Jnury Mrch 2017 qurter who were ge-eligible for PCV (ie, cses born fter 1 Jnury 2008 nd ged 6 weeks). Immunistion sttus ws bsed on informtion recorded in EpiSurv (ie, dt ws not mtched to the Ntionl Immunistion Register). Immunistion informtion ws recorded for five out of the eight cses. Two of the cses were recorded s not being immunised. Of the remining three cses, one cse ws due to PCV7 serotype (14) nd two cses were non- PCV13 types. Ethnicity ws recorded for 70 (92.1%) of the 76 IPD cses in the Jnury-Mrch 2017 qurter (Tble 5). The ge-stndrdised rtes of IPD were highest for the Pcific peoples (9.3 per 100,000, 16 cses) nd Māori (6.3 per 100,000, 23 cses) ethnic groups. The rtes for these two ethnic groups were, respectively, 15.5 nd 10.5 times higher thn the rte for the Europen or Other ethnic group (0.6 per 100,000, 24 cses) (Tble 5). In the Jnury-Mrch 2017 qurter, 67 (88.2%) of the 76 IPD cses hd residentil ddress recorded tht could be ssigned 2013 New Zelnd Deprivtion Index (NZDep13) score (Tble 6). The most deprived res (NZDep13 quintile 5) hd the highest rte of IPD (3.4 per 100,000, 28 cses), 4.9 times the rte in the lest deprived res (0.7 per 100,000, 6 cses). Rtes of IPD by deprivtion index could only be clculted for ll ges combined becuse popultion dt by NZDep13 quintile nd ge groups ws not vilble. Invsive Pneumococcl Disese Qurterly Report, Jnury Mrch
