- Percentage of Participants With Local Reactions Within 7 Days After Vaccination 1 [ Time Frame: Within 7 days after Vaccination 1 ]Local reactions were recorded using an electronic diary. Local reactions included redness, swelling and pain at the injection site. 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 (0.5 to 2.0 centimeter [cm]), moderate (greater than [>] 2.0 to 7.0 cm) and severe (>7.0 cm). Pain at injection site was graded as mild (hurt if gently touched example, whimpered, winced, protested, or withdrew), moderate (hurt if gently touched, with crying), and severe (caused limitation of limb movement).
- Percentage of Participants With Local Reactions Within 7 Days After Vaccination 2 [ Time Frame: Within 7 days after Vaccination 2 ]Local reactions were recorded using an electronic diary. Local reactions included redness, swelling and pain at the injection site. Redness and swelling were measured and recorded in measuring device units. 1 measuring device unit =0.5 cm. Redness and swelling were graded as mild (0.5 to 2.0 cm), moderate (>2.0 to 7.0 cm) and severe (>7.0 cm). Pain at injection site was graded as mild (hurt if gently touched example, whimpered, winced, protested, or withdrew), moderate (hurt if gently touched, with crying), and severe (caused limitation of limb movement).
- Percentage of Participants With Local Reactions Within 7 Days After Vaccination 3 [ Time Frame: Within 7 days after Vaccination 3 ]Local reactions were recorded using an electronic diary.

Decreased appetite was graded as mild (decreased interest in eating), moderate (decreased oral intake) and severe (refusal to feed). Drowsiness was graded as mild (increased or prolonged sleeping bouts), moderate (slightly subdued, interfered with daily activity) and severe (disabled, not interested in usual daily activity). Irritability was graded as mild (easily consolable), moderate (required increased attention) and severe (inconsolable; crying could not be comforted).

- Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Pre-specified Level of Pneumococcal IgG Concentrations Within 1 Month After Vaccination 3 [ Time Frame: 1 month after Vaccination 3 ]Pre-specified levels of serotypes were as follows: for serotype 1, 3, 4, 6A, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F, 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F, 33F: >=0.35 microgram per milliliter, for serotype 5: >=0.23 microgram per milliliter, for serotype 6B: >=0.10 microgram per milliliter and for serotype 19A: >=0.12 microgram per milliliter.
- Pneumococcal Serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) at 1 Month After Vaccination 3 [ Time Frame: 1 month after Vaccination 3 ]IgG GMCs were determined for each of the 20 pneumococcal serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 23F, 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F and 33F.
