Abstract

The principle that infants can be protected from invasive diseases caused by encapsulated organisms has been proved with the introduction of Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccines. The use of glycoconjugates to implement some of the goals of the Children's Vaccine Initiative requires a clear delineation of the chemical and immunological specifications for optimal vaccines.
