Pneumococcal Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Fold Rises (GMFRs) for the 13 Serotypes From Prevaccination to 1 Month After Vaccination for Overall PopulationPrevaccination (Day 1), 1 month after vaccination

Geometric mean fold rises (GMFRs) for the 13 serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) from prevaccination to 1 month postvaccination were computed using the logarithmically transformed assay results. CI for the GMFRs are back transformations of a CI based on the Student t distribution for the logarithmically transformed assay results.
