  Up to study day 224

• Changes in safety laboratory results compared to baseline

  Assessment of adverse changes from baseline in safety laboratory results (standard panels for hematology, blood chemistry and urinalysis) that meet criteria as an adverse event as described in "Guidance for Industry Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials, FDA 2007".

  Up to study day 61

• Changes in vital signs compared to baseline

  Assessment of changes in vital signs (SBP, DBP, HR, RR, oral body temp) that meet criteria as an adverse event as described in "Guidance for Industry Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials, FDA 2007".

  Up to study day 61

• Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) post immunization of Anti-pneumolysin (PLY) and anti-choline binding protein A (CbpA)

  Anti-pneumolysin and anti-choline binding protein A serum immunoglobulin G antibody geometric mean titer as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) compared baseline. The anti-PLY and anti-CbpA antibody titers will be measured as \>=2- and \>=4-fold above baseline to determine GMTs and rates of seroconversion.

  Up to study day 224

• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Participant must be male or non-pregnant, non-lactating female ≥ 18 to ≤ 50 years of age for Cohorts 1 to 4 and ≥ 60 to ≤ 75 years of age for Cohort 5, at the time of signing the informed consent.

Short-term use of corticosteroids (\< 14 days) for an acute illness are allowed but last dose should be ≥ 28 days prior to administration of the first dose of study intervention. The use of topical, inhaled, and nasal glucocorticoids is permitted.
