  1. PneuMum study vaccinations, sample collection and clinical examinations occurred over 5 visits: pregnancy (30–36 weeks), birth (< 72 h) and infant age 1, 2 and 7 months. Complete data were not available for some characteristics. For pregnancy vaccinated, and non-pregnancy vaccinated groups respectively the denominators for ahousehold occupancy (< 5 years) were: 75 and 149; for bcompleted year 10 were: 74 and 149; for cbreast feeding (non-exclusive) were: 66 and 129 at 1 month; 61 and 126 at 2 months; and 67 and 134 at 7 months and for dmaternal smoking were: 66 and 129 at 1 month; 60 and 127 at 2 months; and 67 and 135 at 7 months. PCV: pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; includes both the 7vPCV and 10vPHiD-CV. Where PCV dose dates were missing or outside the 12 month (−14 days) window the dose was coded as not received
