Description
Activity for the serotypes contained in Prevnar 13™ and V114 (13 serotypes shared with Prevnar 13™ and 2 serotypes unique to V114) was determined using a Multiplexed Opsonophagocytic Assay. Geometric mean fold rise (GMFR) is the geometric mean of fold rise from baseline to postvaccination.
Time Frame
Day 1 (Baseline) and Month 12
