Impact of Prevnar 13 on Ear Infections in Children

Completed
Conditions
Mastoiditis
Acute Otitis Media
Interventions
Other: No intervention
Registration Number
NCT01272999
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
Brief Summary

Prevnar (7 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine \[7vPnC\]) has been shown to be effective against ear infections in children. Prevnar 13 is a new vaccine that is similar to Prevnar. It is expected that the effectiveness of Prevnar 13 against ear infections in children will be similar to that observed following Prevnar. Pfizer has committed to conduct a postmarketing study of the impact of Prevnar 13 in reducing ear infections among children.
