Competing Interests
The authors have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: RG has declared that he has received funding from Wyeth (now Pfizer Vaccines) to support conference attendance which was not for the purpose of this study. RG, EM and NA have declared that they have been a member of the Department of Health's Joint Committee on Vaccines and Immunisations Committee Sub-committee on pneumococcal vaccines. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
