As part of a randomized controlled trial in Viet Nam, this study finds that pneumococcal-specific memory B cells (Bmem) are higher following a 1 + 1 compared to a 0 + 1 pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) schedule and higher for PCV13 compared to PCV10. Bmem did not wane as rapidly as IgG by 24 months of age.
