Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) will benefit from vaccination with a 13-valent conjugated pneumococcal vaccine, Prevenar13, compared with a conventional 23-valent capsular polysaccharide vaccine in terms of immune response.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Immune response to Pneumovax compared to immune response to Prevenar

Time Frame: 1 month post vaccination

Secondary Outcomes
