Study Description

Brief Summary:

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (GSK1024850A), administered according to different vaccination schedules, against invasive disease caused by S. pneumoniae or H. influenzae as well as vaccine impact on the occurrence of hospital-diagnosed pneumonia cases, tympanostomy tube placement and outpatient antimicrobial prescriptions.

    An event is defined as 'serious' when it meets one of the pre-defined outcomes described below: results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation; results in disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.

    Medical or scientific judgement should be exercised in deciding whether reporting is appropriate in other situations, such as important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalisation but may jeopardize the subject or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition. These should also be considered serious.
