Abstract

The annual rates of group A Streptococcus bacteremia per 100 000 children in southern Israel declined after introduction of the varicella vaccine to the national immunization program, from 2.43 (95% confidence interval, 1.73-3.13) in 1995-2002 to 1.30 (95% confidence interval, 0.91-1.72) in 2010-2016 (P =.04). This reduction correlated with the disappearance of varicella rash as a predisposing factor.
