Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Group A |
Biological: Inactivated Poliomyelitis vaccine (IMOVAX)
Fractional dose (1/5th) 0.1 mL, intradermally
Other Name: IMOVAX Polio (IPV) vaccine |
Active Comparator: Group B |
Biological: Inactivated Poliomyelitis vaccine (IMOVAX)
A full dose, 0.5 mL, intramuscular
Other Name: IMOVAX Polio (IPV) vaccine |
- The non-inferiority of fractional doses of IMOVAX Polio administered intradermally versus full doses of IMOVAX Polio administered intramuscularly, in terms of seroprotection rates (polio types 1 2 and 3) one month after the three-dose primary vaccination [ Time Frame: 1 Month Post-vaccination ]
- Immunogenicity: To assess and describe in each group the immunogenicity of the study vaccines one month after the three-dose primary vaccination Safety: To describe in each group the safety after each dose of the study vaccines [ Time Frame: 1 Month post-vaccination ]
