Since January 1, 2018, pneumococcal vaccines are mandatory for infants born in France. The vast majority of children born in France in 2020 were thus immunized against the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae responsible for cases of pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis.
Since 2018, the pneumococcal vaccination coverage (with at least one dose at 8 months) increased from 99.4 to 99.7 percent among infants. Furthermore, roughly 91 percent of the cohort of children born in 2020 received at least three doses (at 21 months).

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.
