Pneumococcal disease is an illness caused by a type of bacteria called pneumococcus. Pneumococcus can cause pneumonia (infection of the lungs), meningitis, (infection of the lining of the brain) and sepsis (infection of blood). Older people run a greater risk of getting the diseases caused by pneumococcus. The best way of protecting against invasive pneumococcal disease is by vaccination. Vaccination causes the body to make antibodies to pneumococcus. Volunteers are needed for a research study of an investigational pneumococcal vaccine.
