Data in parentheses are 95% CIs. Serotype-specific geometric mean opsonisation index and percentage of participants with an opsonisation index of ≥8 at 4 weeks after the booster vaccination for group A (3+1 schedule at ages 2, 3, 4, and 9 months); group C (2+1 schedule at ages 2, 4, and 9·5 months); and group B (3+0 schedule at ages 2, 3, and 4 months).

*

Opsonophagocytic assays were done in half of participants per group (75 from group A, 125 from group C, and 75 from group B); however, eight participants (four from group A and four from group C) had their post-booster blood sample collected outside of the study window (23–43 days after vaccination) and so were excluded from the analysis.

n=74 for serotypes 4, 5, 19F, and 6A because one sample in group B was not tested because insufficient serum sample was collected.
