Summary:

      The purpose of this study is 1) to evaluate the safety and tolerability of V114 with respect
      to the proportion of participants with adverse events (AEs) and 2) to evaluate the
      anti-pneumococcal polysaccharide (PnPs) serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Geometric
      Mean Concentrations (GMCs) at 30 days following the last dose for each vaccination group.
      There is no formal hypothesis testing in this study.

             a PCV at least 8 weeks prior to study entry as follows: a partial regimen of
             Prevnar™,Synflorix™, or Prevnar 13™ or a full regimen of Prevnar™ or Synflorix™ based
