•The parents/legally representatives have to be willing and able to allow their child to participate in the trial according to the described procedures
•Presence of a signed informed consent (the parents/legally representatives have given written informed consent after receiving oral and written information)
•Group 1: The children are 2 months old (± 2 weeks), have not received any vaccinations and will receive all vaccinations (DTaP-IPV-Hib-HepB and PCV13) by the study team
•Group 2: The children are 4-6 months old and have received three DTaP-IPV-Hib-HepB and PCV10 vaccinations according to the 3+1 schedule of the Dutch NIP*.

*The Dutch NIP 3+1 schedule: All children born as of August 1st 2011 will receive Synflorix (PCV10) and DTaP-IPV-Hib-HepB vaccinations, at the age of 2, 3 4 and 11 months of age.

Secondary Objective: To compare immunogenicity (humoral) induced by PCV10 and PCV13 at 5, 8, 11 and 12 months of a complete vaccination series (3+1, the current NIP schedule) <br><br>To investigate the possible influence of the pneumococcal vaccination on the serological responses of other vaccine components of the NIP which are administered simultaneously in the other limb (DTaP-Hib)<br>;Main Objective: To compare immunogenicity (humoral and cellular) induced by PCV10 and PCV13 after the booster dose of a complete vaccination series (3+1, the current NIP schedule) ;Primary end point(s): Pneumococcal serotypes<br>•Cellular immune response (Plasma B cells and memory B cells) immediately before and 7-9 days after the booster at 11-months of age<br>•Humoral immune response (antibody concentrations and geometric mean concentrations (GMT)) at 12 months of age;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Cellular: at 11 months and 7-9 days after 11 months vaccination<br>Humoral: at 12 months
