Study Description

Brief Summary:

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y when MenACYW conjugate vaccine is administered concomitantly with a licensed meningococcal group B vaccine in the second year of life compared to when MenACYW conjugate vaccine is given alone The secondary objective is to describe the antibody geometric mean titers (GMTs) of meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y when MenACYW conjugate vaccine is administered concomitantly with a licensed meningococcal group B vaccine in the second year of life and when MenACYW conjugate vaccine is given alone

• Bleeding disorder, or receipt of anticoagulants in the 3 weeks preceding inclusion, contraindicating intramuscular vaccination
• Chronic illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, is at a stage where it might interfere with trial conduct or completion
• Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with the evaluation of the study objectives, including planning to leave the area of the study site before the end of the study
• Moderate or severe acute illness/infection (according to investigator judgment), or febrile illness (temperature ≥ 38.0 C), or diarrhea or vomiting on the day of vaccination. A prospective subject should not be included in the study until the condition has resolved or the febrile event has subsided.
• Identified as a natural or adopted child of the Investigator or employee with direct involvement in the proposed study.
