Detailed Description

A phase Ⅰb clinical trial of the study of 13-valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13) developed by Sinovac Life Science Co., Ltd (Sinovac) will be conducted in Chinese children aged 2 months (42-89 days) and 2 to 5 years. The trial is an randomized, double-blind and active controlled study. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of PCV13 manufactured by Sinovac Life Science Co., Ltd. The active control vaccine is the PREVNAR 13 manufactured by Pfizer Inc. A total of 140 participants will be enrolled, including 70 children aged 2-5 years old, and 70 infants aged 2 months (42-89 days). Participants will be randomized to receive either Sinovac PCV13 or Pfizer PCV13 in a 1:1 ratio. Children aged 2-5 years old will receive 1 dose; Infants aged 2 months will receive 4 doses, including 3 doses (two-month interval) in primary vaccination and a booster dose at the age of 12-15 months.
