This study is part of the post-licensure commitment to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Meningo A+C vaccine in healthy Chinese children 2 to 6 years of age.
Primary Objective:
To demonstrate the non-inferiority in terms of seroconversion rate for serogroups A and C, 30 days after a single dose of Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal (Groups A and C) Polysaccharide Vaccine versus Lanzhou Institute for Biological Products Meningococcal (Groups A and C) Polysaccharide Vaccine.
Secondary Objective:
- To describe the immunogenicity for serogroups A and C, 30 days after administration of the study vaccines given as a single dose.
- To describe the full reactogenicity profile after administration of the study vaccines given as a single dose.

- Number of Participants With Seroconversion Following Vaccination With Either Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine or Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 30 post-vaccination ]Seroconversion status was defined as antibody titers against meningococcal serogroups A and C, 30 days after vaccine administration ≥ 4-fold increase from pre-vaccination level measured by 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR).
- Percentage of Participants With Post-vaccination Titer ≥1:8 for Serogroup A Before and Following Vaccination of Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine or Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 30 post-vaccination ]Meningococcal Group A antibodies were measured by 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR)..
- Percentage of Participants With Post-vaccination Titer ≥1:8 for Serogroup C Before and Following Vaccination of Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine or Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 30 post-vaccination ]Meningococcal Group C antibodies were measured by 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR)..
- Geometric Mean Titers of Serogroup A and C Antibodies Following Vaccination With Either Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine or Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 30 post-vaccination ]Meningococcal Group A and C antibodies were measured by 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR).
- Geometric Mean Titers of Serogroup A Antibodies Following Vaccination With Either Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine or Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 30 post-vaccination ]Meningococcal Group A antibodies were measured by 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR).
- Geometric Mean Titers of Serogroup C Antibodies Following Vaccination With Either Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine or Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 30 post-vaccination ]Meningococcal Group C antibodies were measured by 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR).
- Number of Participants Reporting a Solicited Injection Site or Systemic Reactions Following Vaccination of Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine or Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 up to Day 7 post-vaccination ]Solicited injection site: Pain, Erythema, and Swelling; Solicited systemic reactions: Fever (Temperature), Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia. Grade 3 injection site: Pain, Incapacitating, unable to perform usual activities; Erythema and Swelling, ≥30 mm. Grade 3 systemic reactions: Fever, temperature >39˚C; Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia, Significant, preventing daily activity.

- Informed consent form has been signed and dated by the parent or another legally acceptable representative
- Subject and parent/ legally acceptable representative are able to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with all trial procedures
- Written documentation of immunization history against meningococcal disease according to the national Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) schedule (including 2 doses with Meningococcal Group A Polysaccharide Vaccine between 6 and 18 months of age).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participation in the 4 weeks preceding the trial vaccination or planned participation during the present trial period in another clinical trial investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or medical procedure
- Receipt of any vaccine in the 4 weeks preceding the trial vaccination or planned receipt of any vaccine in the 4 weeks following the trial vaccination (except for influenza vaccination, which may be received at least 2 weeks before study vaccines)
