Invasive Pneumococcal Disease among Childbearing-Age Women, United States, 2007–2023
US data on invasive pneumococcal disease incidence among pregnant and postpartum women are limited. We estimated incidence in those groups using population-based surveillance. Compared with nonpregnant women of childbearing age, incidence was similar for pregnant women but 3.5 times higher for postpartum women. Our findings could inform pneumococcal vaccine recommendations.
