Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With a New Acquisition of Serotype 6A' (6A + 6C) or 19A Combined 1 Month After the Infant Series to 24 Months of Age
Time Frame: Month 7 through Month 24
A new acquisition was defined as the detection of a serotype (here 6A' [6A + 6C] or 19A), once a participant was fully vaccinated (one month after dose 3), that had not been detected previously in the baseline samples at 2, 4, 6 months of age.
Month 7 through Month 24

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants With Nasopharyngeal Cultures Testing Positive for 6A' (6A + 6C) or 19A Serotypes of Streptococcus Pneumoniae (S. Pneumoniae) at 7, 12, 13, 18 and 24 Months of Age
Time Frame: Month 7, 12, 13, 18, 24
