1. A vaccine comprising an immunogenic composition comprising an immunologically effective amount of a polysaccharide-carrier protein conjugate,
wherein the polysaccharide comprises one or more and less than 500 repeat unit(s) Glcp-(1→4)-[Gro-(2→P→3)]-β-D-Galp-(1→4)-β-L-Rhap-(1→,
wherein the polysaccharide is a hybrid oligosaccharide or polysaccharide having a structure: (B)n-A→wherein A is an oligosaccharide containing at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 monosaccharides with a hexose monosaccharide derivative at the reducing end (indicated by the arrow in the diagram), wherein the hexose monosaccharide derivative is N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), N-acetylgalactoseamine (GalNAc), 2,4-Diacetamido-2,4,6-trideoxyhexose (DATDH), N-acetylfucoseamine (FucNAc), or N-acetylquinovosamine (QuiNAc); wherein B is an oligosaccharide repeat unit >4)-B-D-Glcp-(1→4)-[Gro-(2→P→3)]-β-D-Galp-(1→4)-β-L-Rhap-(1→; and wherein n is at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or at least 20; and
wherein the immunogenic composition comprises 10 or more capsular saccharides from different S. pneumoniae serotypes conjugated to a carrier protein.
