Summary:Highlights • Free polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine is generally recommended for older adults. • Conjugate and free polysaccharide vaccines were compared in pre-immunized adults. • Conjugate responses were significantly greater for majority of serotypes. • Conjugate vaccine did not negatively influence response to follow-on dose at 1 year. • Free polysaccharide vaccine diminished response to follow-on conjugate at 1 year.
