Objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in relation to pneumococcal vaccine use. The 2002 immunization campaign may have contributed to controlling serotype 1 outbreaks in Nunavik, but effected were short-lived as IPDs caused by serotypes included in this vaccine continued to occur after 2005.
