Among three cohorts of children born between January and March 2018, 2019, and 2020
Supplementary notes
Pneumococcal vaccines are vaccines against the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae. They can prevent some cases of pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis.
The data analysis excluded the French departments for which the DCIR* does not allow reliable estimates of vaccination coverage, due to the significant proportion of children vaccinated in PMI where vaccines are provided free of charge by the Departmental Council.
*DCIR stands for the inter-regime consumption datamart which contains all the city care reimbursed for beneficiaries of the Health Insurance. It makes it possible to carry out studies on the consumption of care by beneficiaries and the practices of health professionals.
