Currently two pneumococcal vaccines are licensed and available. One is the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23). However it is not recommended for children less than 2 year old. Another one is the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) which can be used for children 6 weeks to 24 months of age. PCV7 includes the capsular polysaccharide of 7 serotypes (4,6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F), each coupled to a nontoxic variant of diphtheria toxin, CRM197. The vaccine contains 2 μg each of capsular polysaccharide from serotypes 4,9V, 14, 19F and 23F; 2 μg of oligosaccharide from 18C; 4 μg of capsular polysaccharide of 6B; 20 μg of CRM197; and 0.125 mg of aluminum/0.5 ml dose as an aluminum phosphate adjuvant [10].
