Clinical Trial Summary

As the licensed Pneumovax 23™ vaccine is not always satisfactory in elderly subjects, the safety and the immune response of the new investigational pneumococcal protein vaccine is evaluated in healthy elderly population.


Description:

Since influenza vaccination is recommended in the age range of the study population, Fluarix™ (GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals) vaccine will be offered free of charge during the study period (for 3 consecutive years starting from September 2004), to be used by Investigators according to national vaccination schedule/practice.

The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.
