Percentage of Participants Achieving At Least a 4-fold Rise in OPA Titers for Serotype 6A 1 Month After Vaccination

For serotype 6A the percentage of participants achieving at least a 4-fold rise on the serotype-specific antibody titer from pre-vaccination to 1 month post-vaccination was computed along with exact, 2-sided 95% confidence interval for the proportion.

Time frame: One month after vaccination

Population: Evaluable immunogenicity population. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies participants with determinate fold rise of OPA antibody titer to serotype 6A.

Percentage of Participants Reporting Pre-specified Systemic Events Within 14 Days After Vaccination

Systemic events reported using an electronic diary. Systemic events are any fever greater than or equal to (\>=) 37.5 degrees Celsius \[C\], fatigue, headache, chills, rash, vomiting, decreased appetite, new muscle pain, aggravated muscle pain, new joint pain, aggravated joint pain, use of medication to treat fever and use of medication to treat pain. All reports of fever \>=39 degrees C in 13vPnC and 23vPS were confirmed as data entry errors.

Time frame: Within 14 days after vaccination

Population: Safety population included all participants who received the study vaccine. 'N' (number of participants analyzed)=participants with known values for any systemic events. 'n'=number of participants with known values for specified systemic events for each group respectively. Participants may be represented in more than 1 category.
