Introduction: Pneumonia is an acute respiratory infection, the most common bacterial cause is Streptococcus pneumoniae and represents one of the major causes of mortality in children under 5 years of age, despite preventive measures. Objective: Assess the impact of the pneumococcal vaccine on the incidence of pneumonia in children under 5 years of age, at the national and departmental level, as well as hospitalizations and mortality at the national range, over 2001-2019 in Peru. In addition, perform an analysis between departments that achieve high vaccination coverage and those with low coverage. Methodology: Study design: Time series interrupted by the inclusion of the heptavalent pneumococcal vaccine (PCV7) in the period between 2009 and 2011 at the national and departmental level. Multivariate analysis, contrasting the incidence of cases between departments with high and low vaccination coverage. Data collection procedure: Pooled data on pneumonia incidence, hospitalization, and mortality obtained from the CDC (Center for Communicable Diseases); vaccination coverage obtained as a database from the Ministry of Health (MINSA) Specific analyzes: multivariate contrasting the incidence of pneumonia cases between departments with high and low vaccination coverage. Results: Hospitalizations at the national level had a negative trend of change after vaccination (p <0.001). At regional level, Callao, Lima, Moquegua, Cusco, Huancavelica, Pasco, Loreto, San Martín and Ucayali had a negative and significant change trend post vaccination (p <0.001). Conclusions: Vaccination has proven to be effective in some departments and at the national level. However, there are individual factors and limitations of the study that may affect the outcome.
