Summary:

      The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a 3-dose
      schedule (2-dose primary series followed by a toddler dose) of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine
      (PCV) as one of the currently recommended schedules by the World Health Organization (WHO)
      Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on Immunizations and practiced in many countries.

      The primary hypotheses are that V114 is non-inferior to Prevenar 13™ for the 13 shared
      serotypes based on response rates and on anti-pneumococcal polysaccharide (PnPs)
      serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) at 30 days
      following Dose 3; that V114 is superior to Prevenar 13™ for the 2 serotypes unique to V114
      based on the response rates and on anti-PnPs serotype-specific IgG GMCs at 30 days following
      Dose 3; and that Vaxelis™ administered concomitantly with V114 is non-inferior to Vaxelis™
      administered concomitantly with Prevenar 13™ at 30 days following Dose 3 for each antigen
      included in Vaxelis™.

             erythematosus, antiphospholipid syndrome, Behcet's disease, autoimmune thyroid
             disease, polymyositis and dermatomyositis, scleroderma, type 1 diabetes mellitus, or
