Summary:

      The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of V114 and to compare the
      serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) across 3
      different lots of V114. The primary hypothesis is that all 3 lots of V114 are equivalent as
      measured by the serotype-specific OPA GMTs for 15 serotypes in V114 at 30 days
      postvaccination.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Participant has good health in the opinion of the investigator. Any underlying chronic
             condition must be documented to be in stable condition according to the investigator's
             judgment.

             agrees to use agreed upon contraception during the treatment period and for at least 6
             weeks after the last dose of study intervention.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  History of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) (positive blood culture, positive
             cerebrospinal fluid culture, or positive culture at another sterile site) or known
             history of other culture-positive pneumococcal disease within 3 years of Visit 1 (Day
             1).

          -  Known hypersensitivity to any component of pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine,
             pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), or any diphtheria toxoid-containing vaccine.

          -  Known or suspected impairment of immunological function including, but not limited to,
             a history of congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, documented human
             immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, functional or anatomic asplenia, or history of
             autoimmune disease.

          -  Coagulation disorder contraindicating intramuscular vaccinations.

          -  Recent febrile illness (defined as oral or tympanic temperature ≥100.4°F [≥38.0°C] or
             axillary or temporal temperature ≥99.4°F [≥37.4°C]) or received antibiotic therapy for
             any acute illness occurring within 72 hours before receipt of study vaccine.

             at Visit 1 (Day 1).

          -  Has received any pneumococcal vaccine or is expected to receive any pneumococcal
             vaccine during the study outside of the protocol.
