20-valent Pneumococcal 
Conjugate Vaccine 
(PCV20) Phase 3 
in Pediatrics

PCV20 is Built on the Established Platforms of PCV7 and PCV13 
• PCV20 builds on the 20 -year legacy of PCVs and contains PCV13 components + conjugates for 7 additional PCV20 
Composition serotypes to broaden disease coverage for pneumococcal disease in children 
• The 7 additional conjugates were modelled on the PCV13 Pfizer platform 
• Licensure based on satisfactory safety and immunogenicity compared to PCV13 
• Totality of data to support comparability per regulatory agreement Licensure and • Seeking same indications as PCV13 Indications 
• PCV20 in the pediatric program is the same vaccine currently approved, recommended, and administered in 
adults

    Summary of PCV20 Pediatric 
PCV20 is well tolerated with a safety profile similar to PCV13 
The totality of data shows PCV20 elicits immune responses to all 20 vaccine serotypes 
A single dose of PCV20 elicited a robust immune response to all 20 serotypes and was well tolerated in 
children 15 months to < 18 years of age, including those with prior PCV13  
PCV20 is compatible with routine pediatric vaccines 
PCV20 is currently under review by the FDA for use in pediatric population 6 weeks to <18 years of age 
with a target action date in April 2023 
PCV20 has the potential to address a substantial burden of pneumococcal disease in children
