*PCV15 is under review for use in individuals >18 years old.

†PCV20 is approved by the FDA for use in individuals >18 years old.

‡PCV24 is under development.

§VT-25 is a PCV25 that covers against serotypes responsible for causing invasive infections in children in low- and middle-income countries. As PCV25 contains 24F, serogroup 24 was included in PCV25 types.

¶Pneumosil is a PCV10 that covers against serotypes 6A and 19A.
