Brief Summary:
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of study vaccines 13vPnC and 23vPS in older, healthy subjects who have previously received a dose of 23vPS at least 5 years ago. It will also evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity to a dose of 13vPnC 1 year after the initial dose of study vaccine.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Pneumococcal OPA Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for the 12 Common Serotypes for 13vPnC Relative to 23vPS (Vax 1 / Year 0) [ Time Frame: 1 month after Vax 1 / Year 0 ]

Confidence intervals (CI) for the GMTs are back transformations of a CI based on the Student t distribution for the mean logarithm of the titers.
