A Study to Evaluate the Interchangeability of V114 and Prevnar 13™ in Healthy Infants (V114-027/PNEU-DIRECTION)

A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind Study to Evaluate the Interchangeability of V114 and Prevnar 13™ With Respect to Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity in Healthy Infants (PNEU-DIRECTION)

The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines (PCVs) V114 and Prevnar 13™ in healthy infants switched from Prevnar 13™ to V114 during the four-dose PCV immunization schedule.
