Confidence interval (CI) for the GMFRs were back transformations of a CI based on the Student t distribution for the logarithmically transformed assay results.


Secondary Outcome Measures :

Geometric means (GMs) were calculated using all participants with available data for both post-dose 2 and post-dose 3 blood draws.

  2. Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) for Serotype-specific Pneumococcal Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Antibody 1 Month After Dose 2 of 13vPnC Relative to 1 Month After Dose 1 of 13vPnC [ Time Frame: 1 month post-dose 1, 1 month post-dose 2 ]
