Influenza and pneumococcal vaccine distribution and use in primary care and hospital settings in Scotland: coverage, practice and policies.
TL;DR: Overall coverage was 43% for influenza vaccine in the 2000–1 season and 13% for pneumococcal vaccination in the last 5 year period, in high-risk patients recommended for these vaccines by the Department of Health (DoH).

Prevalence of moderate penicillin resistant invasive Neisseria meningitidis infection in Scotland, 1994-9
TL;DR: The serological characteristics of 774 invasive meningococcal isolates collected through an active laboratory-based surveillance system in Scotland from 1994 to 1999 showed no predominant penicillin resistant serotype/subtype within any serogroup.

Non-invasive pneumococcal disease and antimicrobial resistance: vaccine implications.
TL;DR: The finding of a similar serogroup distribution in both invasive and non-invasive disease (regardless of the site of clinical isolate), is consistent with serogroups colonizing non-sterile sites and having the potential to invade.

Incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease in Scotland, 1988-99.
TL;DR: Pneumococcal disease was highest in winter periods and coincided with influenza activity and the proportion of penicillin and erythromycin non-susceptible isolates increased from 4·2% in 1992 to 12· 6% in 1999 and from 5·6% in 1994 to 16·3% in 1998.
Serotypes/groups distribution and antimicrobial resistance of invasive pneumococcal isolates: implications for vaccine strategies.
TL;DR: The serotype/group distribution of invasive isolates in Scotland varied from year to year over the period 1993–9 but the Coverage of the 23-valent vaccine remained above 95% in each year but the coverage of the 7, 9 and 11-Valent conjugate vaccines showed more marked fluctuation with coverage as low as 53, 60 and 75% in some years.
