1. A method for protection against an infection by Streptococcus pneumoniae comprising:
providing an immunogenic composition comprising a first group of monovalent capsular polysaccharides and a second group of bivalent or multivalent capsular polysaccharides wherein:
the first group of monovalent capsular polysaccharides comprise polysaccharides of S. pneumoniae serotypes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7F, 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 17F, 18C, 20, 22F, 23F, 24F, 33F and 35B; and
the second group of bivalent or multivalent capsular polysaccharides comprising two or more polysaccharides selected from one or more of the groups consisting of S. pneumoniae serotypes 6A/6B/6C/6D, S. pneumoniae serotypes 9V/9N/9A/9B, S. pneumoniae serotypes 15B/15A/15C, and S. pneumoniae serotypes 19A/19F, wherein:
the first group of monovalent capsular polysaccharides are each covalently coupled to a first PEG linker which is couple to a first carrier protein, and
the second group of bivalent or multivalent capsular polysaccharides are each covalently coupled to a second PEG linker which is coupled to a second carrier protein; and
administering a dose of the immunogenic composition to a subject.
