Prevention of invasive pneumococcal disease, pneumonia, meningitis, and bacteremia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes included in the vaccine.

The vaccine contains pneumococcal capsular antigens chemically conjugated to diphtheria CRM197 protein, which helps stimulate stronger T-cell dependent immune responses compared to plain polysaccharide vaccines, particularly in young children.

Like other conjugate vaccines, this approach allows for effective immunization in populations that respond poorly to polysaccharide-only vaccines. Specific serotype coverage depends on the formulation. Consultation with a healthcare provider is recommended to determine individual appropriateness.
