To demonstrate that DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine does not induce a higher incidence rate of high fever than Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™ and Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) after any of the three vaccinations at 2, 4, and 6 months of age for each subject.
To evaluate the overall safety in terms of:
Any solicited adverse reactions in the first 7 days after each injection, Any adverse events and reactions in the first 30 days after each injection, Any serious adverse events during the trial.
Immunogenicity:
To document the immune response to Hepatitis B antigen of the three batches of the investigational DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T vaccine.

- Number of Participants With High Fever Observed After Either DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T or Tritanrix Hep B/Hib™ + Placebo or Tritanrix-Hep B/Hib™ + Placebo Injection. [ Time Frame: Day 0 up to Day 7 post-injection ]High fever was defined as rectal temperature equivalent to ≥ 39.6ºC.
- Geometric Mean Titers of Anti Hepatitis B Antibodies Following Vaccination With Either DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T Vaccine + Placebo or Tritanrix-Hep B/Hib™ + Placebo [ Time Frame: Day 30 post-dose 3 ]Anti-hepatitis B (Hep B) antibodies were measured by automated enhanced chemiluminescence assay.
- Percentage of Participants Reaching Seroprotection Threshold Following Vaccination With Either DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T Vaccine + Placebo or Tritanrix-Hep B/Hib™ + Placebo [ Time Frame: Day 30 post-dose 3 ]
Anti hepatitis B (Hep B) antibodies were measured by automated enhanced chemiluminescence assay.
Two Seroprotection thresholds were defined: a titer ≥ 10 mIU/mL and ≥ 100 mIU/mL, respectively.
- Number of Participants Reporting at Least One Solicited Injection Site or Systemic Reaction Following Each Vaccination [ Time Frame: Day 0 up to Day 7 Post-injection ]
Solicited Injection Site Reactions: Pain, Erythema, Swelling. Solicited Systemic Reactions: Pyrexia (Temperature), Vomiting, Crying, Somnolence, Anorexia, Irritability.
Severe solicited reactions were defined as follows: Pain, cries when injected limb is moved or the movement of the injected limb is reduced; Erythema and Swelling, ≥5 cm; Fever ≥39.6 ºC; Vomiting, ≥6 episodes per 24 hours or requiring parenteral hydration; Crying, >3 hours; Somnolence, sleeping most of the time or difficulty to wake up; Anorexia, refuses ≥3 feeds or refuses most feeds; Irritability, inconsolable.
