Study Evaluating 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in Healthy Infants in Brazil

A Phase 3, Randomized, Active-Controlled, Double-Blind Trial Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of a 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in Healthy Infants Given With Routine Pediatric Vaccinations in Brazil

The purpose of this study will be to analyze 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine given to healthy infants in Brazil for safety and tolerability, and to determine the immune response to the vaccines.
