The legal age will be determined according to local regulations in each participating country.

• Healthy subjects as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.

• Female subjects of non-childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study.

  • Non-childbearing potential is defined as pre-menarche, current tubal ligation, hysterectomy, ovariectomy or post-menopause.

• Female subjects of childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study, if the subject:

  • has practiced adequate contraception for 30 days prior to vaccination, and
  • has a negative pregnancy test on the day of vaccination, and
  • has agreed to continue adequate contraception during the entire treatment period and for 2 months after completion of the vaccination series.

• Chronic administration of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the first vaccine dose. For corticosteroids, this will be ≥10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.
• Planned administration/administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol within the period starting 30 days before and ending 30 days after each study dose of vaccine(s), with the exception of licensed inactivated influenza vaccine.
• Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational product or a non-investigational vaccine/product.
• Previous vaccination with a meningococcal polysaccharide or conjugate vaccine within the last 10 years.
• History of meningococcal disease since birth.
• History of serious allergic reaction following any other DTP-containing vaccine or any component of the study vaccines.
• History of encephalopathy within seven days of administration of a previous pertussis antigen-containing vaccine that is not attributable to another identifiable cause.
• Persons who experienced an Arthus-type hypersensitivity reaction following a prior dose of tetanus-toxoid containing vaccine should not receive Boostrix unless at least 10 years have elapsed since the last dose of tetanus-toxoid containing vaccine.
• Previous vaccination with a tetanus-toxoid containing vaccine within the previous five years.
• Temperature of ≥ 40.5°C (105°F) within 48 hours of receipt of a previous dose of DTP vaccine (diphtheria-tetanus-whole cell pertussis [DTPw] and/or diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis [DTaP]), not due to another identifiable cause.
• Collapse or shock-like state within 48 hours of receipt of a previous dose of DTP vaccine.
• Seizures with or without fever within three days of a previous dose of DTP vaccine.
• Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, based on medical history and history directed physical examination.
• A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency, until the immune competence of the potential vaccine recipient is demonstrated.
• History of any allergic disease/reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine(s).
• Progressive neurologic disorder, unstable neurologic conditions, uncontrolled epilepsy or progressive encephalopathy.
• History of any neurologic disorders or seizures. A history of ADHD or depression or a history of a single, simple febrile seizure does not exclude a subject.
