Abstract

Healthy adults aged ≥ 70 years (N=443) with no history of pneumococcal vaccination received 7- or 9-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7 or PCV9) at 1 × (PCV7 only), 2 × (PCV7+PCV9), or 4 × (2 × PCV7+2 × PCV9) dosage in a randomised, open-label study evaluating pneumococcal protein conjugate vaccine (PnC). Controls received 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV). Both geometric mean concentration enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and opsonophagocytic activity antibody titres assessed 1 month after vaccination were significantly increased over baseline titres for all PCV7 serotypes, with a trend toward a dose-dependent immune response. Local reactions for the 4 × dose, but not the 2 × dose, were statistically significantly higher than for the 1 × dose. No treatment-related serious adverse events occurred.
