The epidemiology of invasive pneumococcal and meningococcal infections in children is, in addition to uncontrollable risk factors, dependent on the spread of bacteria in the community. Anti-epidemic measures seem to reduce the incidence of some infections; however, their serious potential remains unchanged. Despite the challenging and altered conditions, it is necessary to maintain and increase the vaccination coverage of in the entire pediatric population, especially in at-risk individuals.

Keywords: invasive meningococcal infections, pneumococcal infections, vaccination in children, Haemophilus, influenzae type b, epidemiology.
