Patients with different inflammatory rheumatic diseases are immunized with one dose 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine 0.5 ml i.m., followed by one dose 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine 0.5 ml i.m. after 8 weeks.
Healthy controls are immunized with one dose 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine 0.5 ml i.m., followed by one dose 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine 0.5 ml i.m. after 8 weeks.
Patients with different inflammatory rheumatic disease previously immunized with one dose PCV7 or PCV13 within another study (see VACCIMIL), are immunized with one dose PPV23 0.5 ml i.m.
Patients with different inflammatory rheumatic disease previously immunized with one dose PPV23 within another study (see VACCIMIL), are immunized with one dose PCV13 0.5 ml i.m.
Healthy controls previously immunized with one dose PCV7 or PCV13 within another study (see VACCIMIL), are immunized with one dose PPV23 0.5 ml i.m.
