Inclusion criteria

1. Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document (ICD) indicating that the subject's parent(s)/legal guardian(s) has/have been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study. Note: The subject's assent may also be required depending on local requirements. 2. Healthy male or female children 6 to 17 years of age at the time of vaccination. 3. Parent(s)/legal guardian(s)/child willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, and other study procedures. 4. Male subject not able to father children, male subject who is able to father children and willing to use a highly effective method of contraception, female subject not of childbearing potential, or female subject of childbearing potential and at risk for pregnancy who is willing to use a highly effective method of contraception. Note: Female subjects of childbearing potential are defined as female subjects 9 years old or have experienced menarche, whichever is earlier, and who are anatomically and functionally able to conceive.

Exclusion criteria

1. Child who is a family member of: * Investigator site staff members directly involved in the conduct of the study; * Site staff members otherwise supervised by the investigator; * Pfizer employees directly involved in the conduct of the study. 2. Participation in other studies involving investigational drug(s) within 28 days prior to study entry and/or during study participation. Participation in observational studies is permitted. 3. History of severe adverse reaction, including hypersensitivity such as anaphylaxis, associated with a vaccine or vaccine component. 4. Contraindication to vaccination with pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (refer to local package insert). 5. Previous vaccination with licensed or investigational pneumococcal vaccine. 6. Bleeding diathesis or condition associated with prolonged bleeding time that would contraindicate intramuscular injection. 7. History of culture-proven invasive disease caused by S pneumoniae. 8. Major known congenital malformation or serious chronic disorder. 9. Known or suspected immune deficiency or suppression. 10. Other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation or behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study. 11. Pregnant females; breastfeeding females; fertile males and females of childbearing potential who are unwilling or unable to use a highly effective method of contraception as outlined in this protocol for the duration of the study.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants Reporting Local Reactions by Severity Within 7 Days After VaccinationWithin 7 days after vaccination on Day 1 (up to Day 7)Local reactions (redness, swelling and pain \[tenderness\]) at the 13vPnC injection site were monitored daily for 7 days after vaccination. Redness and swelling were measured and recorded in a measuring device units. 1 measuring device unit=0.5 centimeter (cm). Redness and swelling were graded as; any (any redness or swelling at the injection site), mild (1 to 4 measuring device units = 0.5 to 2.0 cm), moderate (5 to 14 measuring device units = 2.5 to 7.0 cm) and severe (greater than \[\>\]14 measuring device units = \>7.0 cm). Pain (tenderness) at injection site was categorized as; any: any pain at the injection site, mild: did not interfere with activity, moderate: interfered with activity and severe: prevented daily activity.
Percentage of Participants Reporting Systemic Events by Severity Within 7 Days After VaccinationWithin 7 days after vaccination on Day 1 (up to Day 7)Systemic events included fever, fatigue(tiredness), headache, muscle pain, joint pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Fever: greater than or equal to (\>=) 38.0 degrees Celsius (C), \>=38.0 degrees C to \<=38.4 degrees C, \>=38.5 to \<=38.9 degrees C, 39.0 to 40.0 degrees C, \> 40.0 degrees C. Fatigue, headache, muscle pain and joint pain graded as any (any fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain), mild(did not interfere with activity), moderate(some interference with activity) or severe(prevented daily routine activity). Vomiting was graded as any (any vomiting), mild (1-2 times in 24 hours \[hrs.\]), moderate(\>2 times in 24 hrs.) or severe (required intravenous hydration). Diarrhea was graded as any(any diarrhea), mild (2-3 loose stools in 24 hrs.), moderate(4-5 loose stools in 24 hrs.) or severe(\>=6 loose stools in 24 hrs.)
Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)up to 1 month after vaccination on Day 1An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received investigational product without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly or that was considered to be an important medical event. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug and up to 1 month that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included both serious and non-serious AEs.

Outcome results

Percentage of Participants Reporting Local Reactions by Severity Within 7 Days After Vaccination

Local reactions (redness, swelling and pain \[tenderness\]) at the 13vPnC injection site were monitored daily for 7 days after vaccination. Redness and swelling were measured and recorded in a measuring device units. 1 measuring device unit=0.5 centimeter (cm). Redness and swelling were graded as; any (any redness or swelling at the injection site), mild (1 to 4 measuring device units = 0.5 to 2.0 cm), moderate (5 to 14 measuring device units = 2.5 to 7.0 cm) and severe (greater than \[\>\]14 measuring device units = \>7.0 cm). Pain (tenderness) at injection site was categorized as; any: any pain at the injection site, mild: did not interfere with activity, moderate: interfered with activity and severe: prevented daily activity.

Time frame: Within 7 days after vaccination on Day 1 (up to Day 7)

Population: The safety population included all participants who received 1 dose of an investigational product. Here, Overall Number of Participants Analyzed=Participants evaluable for this outcome measure and Number Analyzed=Participants evaluable at specific rows.
