At baseline the vaccinated and control communities were combined, and analysed according to those between 30 months and 4 years of age and those 5 years and above. The geometric means (GM) of the antibody concentrations, the proportions with concentrations that are postulated to protect against invasive pneumococcal disease (≥0.35 mg/ml) and nasopharyngeal carriage (≥5.0 µg/ml) are shown.
