Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Minhai's 13-valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13-DT/TT) as compared to Pfizer's 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13) when co-administered with Hexavalent Vaccines at 2,4, and 12-15 months of age, to healthy infants in Indonesia. This study aims to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the serotype-specific immune responses elicited by the novel PCV13-DT/TT (Pneuminvac) as compared to PCV13(Prevenar 13) one month after the booster dose, and evaluate the safety of PCV13 co-administrated with Hexavalent Vaccine(Hexaxim).

7. *Participant experiences acute diseases or acute exacerbation of chronic diseases or uses antipyretic, analgesic and anti-allergic drugs (such as paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin, loratadine, cetirizine, etc.) within 3 days before vaccination.
8. *History of administration of attenuated vaccines within 14 days (<14 days) and inactivated vaccines within 7 days (<7 days) prior to the 1st dose of investigational vaccine (If the participant[s] does not meet the criteria, the visit may be rescheduled when the criteria are met).
9. Previous vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b, Neisseria meningitidis and/or Streptococcus pneumoniae with the exception of vaccines where the first dose can be given before 2 months of life according to the national recommendations.
10. History of or intercurrent diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, polio, Haemophilus influenzae type b disease, Neisseria meningitidis.
11. Individuals who receive treatment with radiotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy, including cytotoxic agents or systemic corticosteroids (if systemic corticosteroids are administered for ≥14 days at a dose of ≥10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent), e.g., for cancer or an autoimmune disease, or planned receipt throughout the study. Inhaled/nebulized, intra-articular, epidural, or topical (skin or eyes) corticosteroids within indicated dosage are permitted.
12. *Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products or anticipation of such administration within 28 days before vaccination and during the study period.
13. History of known disturbance of coagulation or blood disorder that could cause anemia or excess bleeding (e.g., thalassemia, coagulation factors deficiency, severe anemia at birth).
14. History of suspected primary immunodeficiency.
15. History of meningitis, seizures or any neurological disorder.
16. A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.

Note: For items with an asterisk (*), if the participant meets these exclusion criteria, the visit may be rescheduled for a time when these criteria are not met.
