- Percentage of Participants With Local Reactions Within 10 Days After Vaccination [ Time Frame: Within 10 days after vaccination ]Local reactions were recorded using an electronic diary (e-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 (greater than [>] 2.0 to 5.0 cm), moderate (>5.0 to 10.0 cm) and severe (>10.0 cm). Pain at injection site 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 [ Time Frame: Within 7 days after vaccination ]Systemic events fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain and joint pain were recorded by using an e-diary. Fever was defined as temperature >=38.0 degree Celsius (C) and categorized to >=38.0 to 38.4 degree C, >38.4 to 38.9 degree C, >38.9 to 40.0 degree C and >40.0 degree C. Fatigue, headache, muscle pain and joint pain were graded as mild (did not interfere with activity), moderate (some interference with activity) and severe (prevented daily routine activity).
- Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Within 1 Month After Vaccination [ Time Frame: Within 1 month after vaccination ]An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in study participants who received study vaccine without regard to possibility of causal relationship with the treatment.
- Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Within 6 Months After Vaccination [ Time Frame: Within 6 months after vaccination ]An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that results in death; is life-threatening (immediate risk of death); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity (substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions); results in congenital anomaly/birth defect or that is considered to be an important medical event.
- Percentage of Participants With Newly Diagnosed Chronic Medical Conditions (NDCMCs) Within 6 Months After Vaccination [ Time Frame: Within 6 months after vaccination ]An NDCMC was defined as a disease or medical condition, not previously identified, that was expected to be persistent or was otherwise long-lasting in its effects.
- Pneumococcal Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) at 1 Month After Vaccination [ Time Frame: 1 month after vaccination ]OPA GMTs were determined for serotypes: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 23F, 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F and 33F. OPA titer was expressed as reciprocal of the highest serum dilution.
- Pneumococcal OPA Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) From Before Vaccination to 1 Month After Vaccination [ Time Frame: From before vaccination to 1 month after vaccination ]OPA GMFR is the ratio of OPA GMTs, 1 month after vaccination to before vaccination. OPA GMFRs from before to 1 month after vaccination were calculated for pneumococcal serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 23F, 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F and 33F.
- Percentage of Participants With >=4-Fold Rise in Pneumococcal OPA Titers From Before Vaccination to 1 Month After Vaccination [ Time Frame: From before vaccination to 1 month after vaccination ]Percentage of participants with a >=4-fold rise in pneumococcal OPA titers from before vaccination to 1 month after vaccination were calculated for pneumococcal serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 23F, 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F and 33F.
- Percentage of Participants With Pneumococcal OPA Titers >=Lower Limit of Quantitation (LLOQ) at 1 Month After Vaccination [ Time Frame: 1 month after vaccination ]The percentage of participants with OPA titers >=LLOQ at 1 month after vaccination were calculated for pneumococcal serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 23F, 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F and 33F.
