BACKGROUND: Widespread use of 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) in children has led to significant reduction in pneumococcal disease in children and adults. However, diseases caused by serotypes not included in PCV7 have increased. A 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV15) containing serotypes in PCV7 and 8 additional serotypes (1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F, 19A, 22F, 33F) was developed and evaluated in toddlers 12 to 15 months of age. METHODS:Ninety toddlers who completed an infant series withPCV7 received a single dose of either aluminum-adjuvanted PCV15, nonadjuvanted PCV15, or PCV7. Injection-site and systemic adverse events (AEs) were collected for 14 days postvaccination and serious AEs (SAEs) were collected for 30 days postvaccination. Solicited AEs included local (pain/tenderness, swelling, nodule and redness) and systemic (fatigue, arthralgia and myalgia) AEs. Serotype-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) and opsonophagocytic (OPA) responses were measured immediately prior and 30 days postvaccination. RESULTS:Incidences of local and systemic AEs were comparable across vaccine groups. The majority of reported events, regardless of vaccine received, were transient and of mild to moderate intensity. No clinically significant differences were observed when comparing duration and severity of AEs. No vaccine-related SAEs or discontinuations from the study due to AEs were reported. Pneumococcal IgG concentrations and OPA titers increased postvaccination, with appreciable fold rises for all serotypes. Antibody levels were comparable between both PCV15 formulations and generally comparable to PCV7 for the shared serotypes. CONCLUSION: Both formulations of PCV15 display acceptable safety profiles and induce IgG and OPA responses to all vaccine serotypes.
