About

The purpose of the study is as follows:

To evaluate the persistence of antibodies and the presence of immune memory induced by a 3-dose primary vaccination with Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib-MenAC (three formulations) in the study DTPwHB/HibMenACTT001 (CPMS No. 759346/001) by giving unconjugated PRP, PSA and PSC at 10 months age to one subset of subjects.
To evaluate the persistence of all antibodies pertaining to primary vaccination and the booster response to Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib2.5 vaccine or Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib-MenAC vaccine at 15-18 months age in the other subset of subjects.

Full description

This study will be conducted in two stages:

At 10 months age, half of the subjects will receive a dose of plain meningococcal AC and PRP polysaccharide (PS) vaccine at 10 months age.

At 15 to 18 months age (DTP booster phase), all subjects will receive a booster dose of Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib-MenAC or Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib2.5.
