Abstract
A conjugate immunogen, having polysaccharide moieties derived from bacterial sources, provides a multivalent vaccine with a low protein to polysaccharide ratio. The vaccine reduces complications associated with injection of protein immunogens due to pyrogenic responses, such as swelling and pain, and is particularly suitable for administration to infants.
