Study Evaluating Prevenar Vaccine in Healthy Infants

An Open-Label Trial of the Immunogenicity and Safety of Prevenar (Pneumococcal 7-Valent Conjugate Vaccine [Diphteria CRM197 Protein Conjugate]) in Healthy Infants at 2, 4 and 6 Months of Age

To determine the immunogenicity of Prevenar in infants immunized at 2, 4 and 6 months of age. To determine the antibody responses to the seven pneumococcal vaccine serotypes one month after second dose and determine the safety of Prevenar in infants immunized at 2,4 and 6 months of age.
