               1. CLL according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) criteria

               3. MBL according to the consensus criteria

                    -  This includes previous documentation of:

                         -  Biopsy-proven small lymphocytic lymphoma or

                         -  Diagnosis of CLL or MBL as evidenced by all of the following:

                              -  Clonal B-cell population in the peripheral blood with
                                 immunophenotyping consistent with CLL defined as:

                                   -  The population of lymphocytes share both B-cell antigens
                                      (cluster of differentiation [CD]19, CD20 [typically dim
                                      expression], or CD23) as well as CD5 in the absence of other
                                      pan-T-cell markers (CD3, CD2, etc)

                                   -  Clonality as evidenced by k (kappa) or lambda light chain
                                      expression (typically dim immunoglobulin expression) or other
                                      genetic method (e.g. immunoglobulin heavy chain variable
                                      [IGHV] analysis) NOTE: splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, or
                                      lymphadenopathy are not required for the diagnosis of CLL

                              -  Patients with a peripheral blood B-cell lymphocyte count of < 5 x
                                 10^9/L and no evidence of lymphadenopathy or organomegaly will be
                                 classified as MBL; patients with a peripheral blood B-cell
                                 lymphocyte count of < 5 x 10^9/L who have evidence of
                                 lymphadenopathy will be classified as SLL; patients with a
                                 peripheral blood B-cell lymphocyte count >= 5 x 10^9/L will be
                                 considered to have CLL

                              -  Before diagnosing MBL, CLL or SLL, mantle cell lymphoma must be
                                 excluded by demonstrating a negative fluorescence in situ
                                 hybridization (FISH) analysis for t(11;14)(IgH/cyclin D 1 [CCND1])
                                 on peripheral blood or tissue biopsy or negative

          -  CLL or SLL patients only (does not apply to MBL patients): Rai stage 0-1 (both CLL and
             SLL patients can be staged using the Rai system)

          -  Patients must not previously have received the Prevnar 13 pneumococcal vaccination;
             NOTE: previous vaccination with Pneumovax (PCV23) is permitted but must have been at
             least 365 days prior to registration

          -  Patients must be previously untreated and must NOT have any of the following
             indications for chemotherapy:

               -  Evidence of progressive marrow failure as manifested by the development of or
                  worsening anemia (=< 11 g/dL) and/or thrombocytopenia (=< 100 x 10^9/L) not due
                  to autoimmune disease

               -  Symptomatic or progressive lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly or hepatomegaly

                       chemotherapy or monoclonal antibody based therapy for treatment of CLL or
                       SLL will be considered prior therapy; nutraceutical treatments with no
                       established benefit in CLL (such as epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG, found
                       in green tea or other herbal treatments) will not be considered "prior
                       treatment" 2) Prior corticosteroid therapy for an indication other than
                       CLL/SLL will not be considered "prior treatment"; previous use of
                       corticosteroids for treatment of autoimmune complications of CLL/SLL does
                       not constitute prior therapy for CLL/SLL
