MenACWY-CRM + Routine Vaccines
Routine Vaccines
Infants received 3 doses of MenACWY-CRM at 2, 4 and 6 months as a infant series vaccination and a toddler dose at 12 months of age. Infants also received routine vaccines - 3 doses each of DTaP-IPV/Hib, HBV and PCV at 2, 4 and 6 months; and 1 dose each of PCV and MMR at 12 months.
Infants received routine vaccines - 3 doses each of DTaP-IPV/Hib, HBV and PCV at 2, 4 and 6 months; and 1 dose each of PCV and MMR at 12 months. In addition subjects were offered a dose of MenACWY-CRM at 18 months as a benefit of participating in this study. However, blood was not drawn for immunogenicity analysis after this dose.
