Li, Platt et al. examine cross-reactivity of antibodies induced by the adult-specific pneumococcal conjugate vaccine V116 within serogroups 6 and 15. Antibodies demonstrated cross-reactivity to non-vaccine serotypes 6 C and 15B, suggesting broader coverage may be available beyond the 21 V116 serotypes following vaccination.
