1. An immunogenic composition comprising a glycoconjugate comprising a S. pneumoniae serotype 12F capsular polysaccharide conjugated via an oxidized primary hydroxyl group to a carrier protein, wherein the oxidized primary hydroxyl group is present on an α-D-Glop or a 2-Glcp sugar residue of said S. pneumoniae serotype 12F capsular polysaccharide, wherein said glycoconjugate has a molecular weight of between about 500 kDa and about 5,000 kDa and a saccharide:carrier protein ratio (w/w) between 0.2 and 4, wherein the amount of free S. pneumoniae serotype 12F polysaccharide in the composition is less than about 35% free saccharide relative to total S. pneumoniae serotype 12F polysaccharide.
