Pneumococcal disease is a pathology caused by certain germs (bacteria), called Streptococcus pneumoniae. These germs can cause serious ear, lung, blood, or brain infections.

- If you are a female of childbearing potential, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and agree not to breastfeed or become pregnant for at least 6 weeks after receiving the study vaccine.
