About

The purpose of this trial is to describe antibody persistence and response to re-vaccination with either Menactra® or Menomune® vaccine approximately three years following initial vaccination in adults who participated in trial MTA29 (NCT00874549).

Objectives:

To describe the rates of immediate reactions, solicited injection-site and systemic reactions, all unsolicited adverse events, and serious adverse events following vaccination.
To evaluate persistence of serum bactericidal antibodies in subjects who received Menactra® or Menomune® vaccine approximately three years ago.
To evaluate the immune response to serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 in subjects re-vaccinated with either Menactra® or Menomune® vaccine.

Full description

Participants who were randomized and received either Menactra® or Menomune® vaccine in trial MTA29 will receive 1 dose of either Menactra® or Menomune®, respectively on Day 0 and will be followed-up for 28 days post-vaccination.

Planned receipt of any vaccine in the 4 weeks following the trial vaccination.
Receipt of blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months, which might interfere with assessment of the immune response.
