The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and immune response of 20vPnC in adults in India. This study is seeking participants who: * are generally healthy adults of 18 years or older. * have not received pneumococcal vaccine. The study will have 2 groups based on age. One group will have particpants between 18 to 49 years of age. The other group will have participants of 50 years or older. Participants will take part in the study for about one month which includes two visits to the study clinic. Participants will receive a single dose of study vaccine (20vPnC) into the arm at visit 1 and will come to study site for a follow-up visit after about a month. The study team will ask questions about the participant's health and blood samples will be taken in a subset of participants during the visits.

Percentage of Participants With Local Reactions Within 7 Days After Vaccination
Local reactions (redness, swelling, and injection site pain) at the site of investigational product administration were recorded in electronic diary (e-diary). Redness and swelling were measured and recorded in caliper units where 1 caliper unit = 0.5 centimeter (cm). Redness and swelling were graded as mild (more than \[\>\]2.0 to 5.0 cm), moderate (\>5.0 to 10.0cm) and severe (\>10.0cm). Pain at injection site was graded as mild (did not interfere with activity), moderate (interfered with activity), and severe (prevented daily activity). Exact 2-sided 95% confidence interval was based on the Clopper and Pearson method.
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 7 after vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Systemic Events Within 7 Days After Vaccination
Systemic events included: fever, fatigue, headache, joint pain and muscle pain. Fever was defined as an oral temperature of more than or equal to (\>=)38.0 degree Celsius (C) and was classified as \>=38.0 degree C, \>=38.0 to 38.4 degree C, \>38.4 to 38.9 degree C, \>38.9 to 40.0 degree C and \>40.0 degree C. Fatigue, headache, joint pain and muscle pain were graded as mild (did not interfere with activity), moderate (some interference with activity) and severe (prevented daily activity). Exact 2-sided 95% confidence interval was based on the Clopper and Pearson method.
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 7 after vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) From Vaccination to 1 Month After Vaccination
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Only AEs collected by non-systematic assessment (i.e. excluding local reactions and systemic events) were reported in this outcome measure. Exact 2-sided 95% confidence interval was based on the Clopper and Pearson method.
Time frame: From vaccination on Day 1 up to 1 Month after vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) From Vaccination to 1 Month After Vaccination
An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that: resulted in death, was life threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, resulted in congenital anomaly/birth defect or was a suspected transmission via a Pfizer product of an infectious agent, pathogenic or non-pathogenic or that was considered to be an important medical event.
Time frame: From vaccination on Day 1 up to 1 Month after vaccination
Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) of Pneumococcal Serotype-Specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Titers From Before Vaccination to 1 Month After Vaccination
GMFRs and 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CIs) were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of fold rises and the corresponding CIs (based on the Student t distribution). Assay results below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) were set to 0.5\*LLOQ in the analysis. Evaluable immunogenicity population: Eligible participants in the immunogenicity subset who received 1 dose of the intervention with at least 1 valid immunogenicity result from the blood sample collection within 27 to 49 days after vaccination, had no other major protocol deviations as determined by the clinician.
Time frame: From before vaccination to 1 Month after vaccination
