  1. Average annual percentage change in SI rates (posterior median estimate of SI cases per 10,000 persons), and posterior median estimates of the age-group specific multiplication factor (MF) for converting notified cases to the estimated number of SI cases. 95 % credible intervals (CrI) are in parentheses. Estimates for the youngest three age-groups are potentially affected by vaccination-related seroconversions
