Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if revaccination with pneumococcal vaccine (PNEUMOVAX™ 23, V110) is well tolerated and produces an immune response in older Japanese adults. The primary hypothesis being tested is that the geometric mean concentration of antibodies to pneumococcal polysaccharide serotypes 3, 6B, and 23F at 4 weeks after revaccination will be superior to that before revaccination in Japanese adults who received a primary vaccination at least 5 years before revaccination.

Change From Baseline in Serotype-Specific Antibody Geometric Mean Concentration at 4 Weeks After Revaccination

Serum antibodies to pneumococcal serotypes were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Geometric mean antibody concentrations (GMCs) were calculated at Baseline and 4 weeks postvaccination. Geometric Mean Fold Rise was the GMC at 4 weeks after vaccination minus the GMC at Baseline.

Time frame: Baseline and 4 weeks after revaccination

Population: Per Protocol Set: all participants in the Revaccination Group except those with a protocol deviation, including those with blood collection outside the protocol-specified window.
