Bar graphs of pneumococcal serotypes included in WHO pre-qualified PCV. a. Pneumococcal serotypes included in Prevenar 13® (PCV13). b. Pneumococcal serotypes included in Synflorix® (PCV10). c. Pneumococcal serotypes included in Pneumosil® (PCV10). We identified 3 children with serotype 18A/B/C/D, the laboratory technique not being able to differentiate among 18A, 18B, 18C or 18D. However, Prevenar 13® and Synflorix® only include the serotype 18C. While Prevenar 13® include both serotypes 6A and 6B, Synflorix® only include the serotype 6B. We identified 2 children with serotype 6A; 2 children with serotype 6B, and it was not possible to differentiate between 6A and 6B in the remaining 8 cases
