Title: Impact on Nasopharyngeal Carriage, Acute Otitis Media, Immunogenicity and Safety of GSK Biologicals' Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine 1024850A
Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (GSK1024850A) in preventing invasive disease caused by S. pneumoniae or H. influenzae and in reducing occurrence of hospital-diagnosed pneumonia cases, tympanostomy tube placement and outpatient antimicrobial prescriptions in children starting vaccination below 18 months of age. These data will be collected from the national registers and will be analyzed in combination with data collected for subjects enrolled in a large scale cluster-randomized study 111442.

The study will also assess the immune response to the GSK1024850A vaccine and the impact of the vaccine on occurrence of acute otitis media, carriage, safety in children starting vaccination below 18 months of age.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* A male or female between, and including, 6 and 16 weeks of age at the time of the first vaccination. Pre-term born infants can be included in the study starting from 8 weeks of chronological age at the time of first vaccination and up to 16 weeks of chronological age
* Subjects should be living in the area covered by the surveillance system for community acquired pneumonia (CAP), invasive disease and acute otitis media (AOM) •Written informed consent obtained from the parent or guardian of the subject.
* Free of any known or suspected health problems (as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study), that would contraindicate the initiation of routine immunizations outside a clinical trial context.
* Subjects for whom the investigator believes that their parents/guardians can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

* Use of any investigational or non-registered drug or planned use during the study period.
* Use or planned use of any investigational or non-registered vaccine other than the study vaccine(s).
* Previous vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type b, hepatitis A and/or Streptococcus. pneumoniae . Locally recommended EPI vaccines to be given at birth are allowed, but should be administered at least one month before the first dose of the study vaccine .Other locally recommended vaccines are always allowed, even if concomitantly administered with the study vaccines. •Previous or planned vaccination with a registered pneumococcal vaccine such as Prevnar is not allowed. If Prevnar immunization needs to be initiated, due to the presence of a high risk disease for pneumococcal infections for which the Prevnar vaccine is made locally available, the subject can not be enrolled in the study and should be referred to the specific Prevnar immunization program.
* History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccines.
* History of any neurologic disorders or seizures.
* Acute disease at the time of enrolment
* For Colombia: infants with low birth weight ( less than (\<) 2.500 grams)
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subjects who the investigator believes that their parent(s)/guardian(s) can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol should be enrolled in the study.
* Male or female between, and including, 6 weeks to 18 months of age at the time of the first vaccination.
* Written informed consent obtained from parent(s) or from the guardian(s) of the subject.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use of such a vaccine(s) other than the study vaccine(s) during the entire study period.
* Previous vaccination with any registered, non-registered or investigational pneumococcal vaccine, or planned use of such a vaccine other than the study vaccine during the study period. If a child belongs to a high risk group for pneumococcal infections (such as children with an anatomic or functional asplenia, HIV infection, chronic cardiac or respiratory disease (not asthma), diabetes, cochlear implant, CSF fistula or with significant immunodeficiency) for which a licensed pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is made locally available, the subject can not be enrolled in the study and should be referred to the specific immunization program.
* Previous vaccination against Hepatitis B virus with any registered, non-registered or investigational vaccine, or planned use of such a vaccine other than the study vaccine during the study period.
* Previous vaccination against Hepatitis A virus with any registered, non-registered or investigational vaccine, or planned use of such a vaccine other than the study vaccine during the study period.
* Known severe hypersensitivity to any component of the study vaccines, including neomycin.
* Any medical condition that would contraindicate the initiation of routine immunization outside a clinical trial context.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or female between, and including, 6 weeks to 18 months of age at the time of the first vaccination.
* Written informed consent obtained from parent(s) or from the guardian(s) of the subject.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Previous vaccination with any registered, non-registered or investigational pneumococcal vaccine other than the study vaccine, or planned use during the study period. If a child belongs to a high risk group for pneumococcal infections for which a licensed pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is made locally available, the subject can not be enrolled in the study and should be referred to the specific immunization program.
* Previous vaccination against Hepatitis B virus with any registered, non-registered or investigational vaccine, or planned use of such a vaccine other than the study vaccine during the study period.
* Previous vaccination against Hepatitis A virus with any registered, non-registered or investigational vaccine, or planned use of such a vaccine other than the study vaccine during the study period.
* Known severe hypersensitivity to any component of the study vaccines, including neomycin.
* Any medical condition that would contraindicate the initiation of routine immunization outside a clinical trial context.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subjects who the investigator believes that their parents/guardian(s) can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (e.g., completion of the diary cards, return for follow-up visits) should be enrolled in the study.
* A male or female between, and including, 6-12 weeks (42-90 days) of age at the time of the first vaccination.
* Written informed consent obtained from both parents or from the guardian(s) of the subject.
* Free of obvious health problems as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.
* Born after a gestation period of at least 36 weeks.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine(s) within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
* Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the entire study period, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational product (pharmaceutical product or device).
