Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Pilot study (study 1)

Inclusion Criteria:

A convenience sample of 40 children aged 24-36 248 months was selected from among healthy
siblings of patients admitted to the 249 paediatric ward in Kilifi District Hospital and
who lived within 30km of the hospital.

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects were excluded if they had any of the following:

1. a history of invasive pneumococcal infection including pneumonia, bacteremia, or
meningitis documented at the hospital;

2. a history of previous vaccination with any pneumococcal vaccine;

3. receipt of any other vaccine in the last 2 months;

4. admission to hospital in the last 3months;

5. malnutrition, as defined by a weight-for-age z-score of <-3.0; or

6. HIV infection.

Study 2

Inclusion Criteria:

Thirty children who had recovered from an episode of invasive pneumococcal disease (the
Prior IPD group) were compared with 30 healthy age-matched children who had not had IPD
(the Healthy Control group). Controls were selected at random from a cohort study
investigating environmental and genetic susceptibility to invasive pneumococcal disease in
Kilifi District Hospital. An episode of IPD was defined as admission to hospital with
cultures of blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or pleural aspirate that grew S. pneumoniae.

Exclusion Criteria:

Same as for Study 1 (pilot) except that for the Prior IPD group, history of invasive
pneumococcal disease was an inclusion criterion.
