Experimental: Menactra® Vaccine Group 1
Participants had previously received a dose of Menactra® vaccine in Study MTA02,did not participate in Study MTA19 (NCT 00777790). They provided a pre-vaccination blood sample on Day 0, received one booster dose of Menactra® vaccine on Day 0 and provided 3 additional blood samples on Day 3, Day 7, and Day 28 post-vaccination.

- Participants With Serum Bactericidal Activity of ≥ 1:8 for Each Menactra® Vaccine Serogroups Pre-vaccination and 28 Days Post-booster or Post-primary Dose Vaccination. [ Time Frame: 28 days post-vaccination (5 years after Menactra® or Menomune® vaccination) ]
Groups 1 and 2 received booster vaccination, Groups 3 and 4 received primary vaccination.
Serum bactericidal activity for each Menactra® vaccine serogroups were at pre-vaccination and at 28 days post-booster or post-primary vaccination.
- Number of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection Site and Solicited Systemic Reactions [ Time Frame: Day 0 to 7 post-vaccination ]Solicited injection site reactions: Erythema, Swelling, and Pain. Solicited systemic reactions: Fever (temperature), Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia.
