%X S.pneumoniae is the most important pathogen causing invasive disease such as meningitis and sepsis. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines are vaccines designed to protect children from invasive diseases. Glaxo Smith Kline¡¯s novel 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PH D-CV) includes serotypes 1.5 and 7F which are not in the 7-valent vaccine (Prevenar). Nontypeable H. influenzae (NTH ) is one of the two major pathogens that cause acute bacterial otitis media. PH D-CV has a new carrier, protein D, derived from NTH  that potentially offers protection against NTH  infection by virtue of the protein D carrier protein. This carrier also minimises the risk of interference with co-administered vaccines.Various studies demonstrated the immunogenicity (by EL SA and OPA), safety and tolerability of PH D-CV.
