GMT = geometric mean titer; OPA = opsonophagocytic activity; PCV13 = 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; QIV = quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine.

Underlined vaccine names indicate which immune response data for each study group are presented for comparison in the table.

an = Number of subjects with a determinate OPA titer to the given serotype.

bGMTs were calculated using all subjects with available data for the specified blood draw.

cCIs are back-transformations of a CI based on the Student t distribution for the mean logarithm of the titers.

dRatio of GMTs PCV13+QIV/placebo to placebo+QIV/PCV13 was calculated by back-transforming the mean difference between vaccine sequences on the logarithmic scale.

eCIs for the ratio are back-transformations of a CI based on the Student t distribution for the mean difference of the logarithms of the measures (PCV13+QIV/placebo – placebo+QIV/PCV13).
