Brief summary
To assess the immunogenicity of the PCV13 (13 valent pneumococcal conjugated vaccine) vaccine as compared to the PPV23 (23 valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine) vaccine in patients treated with chronic hemodialysis that are pre-immunized with the PPSV23 vaccine or are PPV23 vaccine naïve by measuring the ELISA and OPA (opsonophagocytic assay) titers after 4 and 52 weeks.
Detailed description
The immunogenicity of the PCV13 (13 valent pneumococcal conjugated vaccine) vaccine as compared to the PPV23 (23 valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine) vaccine in patients treated with chronic hemodialysis that are pre-immunized with the PPV23 vaccine or are PPV23 vaccine naïve will be measured by ELISA and OPA (opsonophagocytic assay) titers after 4 and 52 weeks.
