- Percentage of Participants With Local Reactions Within 10 Days After Vaccination 1 [ Time Frame: within 10 days after Vaccination 1 ]Local reactions included pain at injection site, swelling and redness recorded by participants in an electronic diary (e-diary). Redness and swelling were measured and recorded in measuring device units. 1 measuring device unit=0.5 centimeter (cm). Redness and swelling were graded as mild: greater than (>) 2.0 to 5.0 centimeter (cm), moderate: 5.5 to 10.0 cm and severe: greater than or equal to (>=) 10.5 cm. Pain was graded as mild: did not interfere with activity, moderate: interfered with activity and severe: prevented daily activity.
- Percentage of Participants With Systemic Events Within 7 Days After Vaccination 1 [ Time Frame: within 7 days after Vaccination 1 ]Systemic events included fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain and joint pain, recorded by participants in an e-diary. Fever was categorized as: >=38.0 degrees Celsius (C), >=38.0 to 38.4 degrees C, >38.4 to 38.9 degrees C, >38.9 to 40.0 degrees C and >40.0 degrees C. Fatigue, headache, muscle pain and joint pain were graded as mild: no interference with activity, moderate: some interference with activity and severe: prevents daily routine activity.
- Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Within 1 Month After Vaccination 1 [ Time Frame: within 1 month after Vaccination 1 (up to 35 days) ]An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received investigational product without regard to possibility of causal relationship. AEs included both serious and non-serious adverse events. Serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.
- Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) or Newly Diagnosed Chronic Medical Conditions (NDCMCs) Within 6 Months After Vaccination 1 [ Time Frame: within 6 months after Vaccination 1 (up to 196 days) ]An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. An NDCMC was defined as a disease or medical condition, not previously identified, that is expected to be persistent or is otherwise long-lasting in its effects. Percentage of participants with either SAE or NDCMCs during the specified duration are reported.
- Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) or Newly Diagnosed Chronic Medical Conditions (NDCMCs) Within 12 Months After Vaccination 1 [ Time Frame: within 12 months after Vaccination 1 (up to 378 days) ]An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. An NDCMC was defined as a disease or medical condition, not previously identified, that is expected to be persistent or is otherwise long-lasting in its effects. Percentage of participants with either SAE or NDCMCs during the specified duration are reported.
- Serotype-Specific Pneumococcal Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titres (GMTs) 1 Month After Vaccination 1: 13 Common Serotypes in 13vPnC [ Time Frame: 1 month after Vaccination 1 ]Antibody-mediated serum OPA against the 13 common pneumococcal serotypes specific to 13vPnC (serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F and 23F) were measured using a pneumococcal OPA assay. Results were expressed as OPA GMTs. Assay results below the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) were set to 0.5*LLOQ in the analysis.
- Serotype-Specific Pneumococcal Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titres (GMTs) 1 Month After Any Vaccination: 7 Additional Serotypes in 20vPnC [ Time Frame: 1 month after Vaccination 1 for 20vPnC followed by saline reporting group; 1 month after Vaccination 2 for 13vPnC followed by PPSV23 reporting group ]Antibody-mediated serum OPA against the 7 additional pneumococcal serotypes (8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F, 33F) were measured using a pneumococcal OPA assay. Results were expressed as OPA GMTs. Assay results below the LLOQ were set to 0.5*LLOQ in the analysis.
- Serotype-specific Pneumococcal Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) From Pre-Vaccination 1 to 1 Month Post-Vaccination 1: 13 Common Serotypes in 13vPnC [ Time Frame: before Vaccination 1 to one month after Vaccination 1 ]GMFR for the 13 pneumococcal serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) from before Vaccination 1 to one month after Vaccination 1 were calculated as the mean of the difference of logarithmically transformed OPA results (after vaccination - before vaccination) and transform back to the original scale. GMFRs were calculated using data from participants with non-missing OPA results at both time points. Assay results below the LLOQ were set to 0.5*LLOQ in the analysis.
- Serotype-specific Pneumococcal Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) From Pre-Vaccination 1 to 1 Month Post Any Vaccination: 7 Additional Serotypes in 20vPnC [ Time Frame: before Vaccination 1 to 1 month after Vaccination 1 for 20vPnC followed by saline reporting group; before Vaccination 1 to 1 month after Vaccination 2 for 13vPnC followed by PPSV23 reporting group ]GMFR for 7 additional pneumococcal serotypes (8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F, 33F) from before Vaccination 1 to one month after either Vaccination 1 (20vPnC) or Vaccination 2 (PPSV23) were calculated as the mean of the difference of logarithmically transformed OPA results (after vaccination - before vaccination) and transform back to the original scale. GMFRs were calculated using data from participants with non-missing OPA results at both time points. Assay results below the LLOQ were set to 0.5*LLOQ in the analysis.
