13vPnC Multidose Vial Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity Study in Healthy Infants.

This study will compare the immune responses of the infants who have been given 13vPnC in the mutidose vial formulation to the immune reponses of the infants who have been given 13vPnC in the single-dose syringe formulation.

It will also evaluate the safety of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (13vPnC) in all infants who are vaccinated.

Treatment and study plan

13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine

Biological

Subjects will receive three doses (0.5 mL each) of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (multidose vial formulation) in the anterolateral thigh muscle of the left leg. Dose 1 is administered between 42 and 70 days of age, dose 2 is administered 28 to 42 days after dose 1, dose 3 is administered 28 to 42 days after dose 2.
