Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare the relative immunogenicity and reactogenicity of the existing 23 valent plain pneumococcal vaccine and a 7 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in healthy UK adults aged 50-80 years, and subsequent antibody persistence and response to boosting.
