Brief Summary
Immunogenicity, Safety, Tolerability and Ability to Prime for Memory of Meningococcal C Conjugate Vaccine in healthy children
Detailed Description
The aim of this study is to investigate the immunogenicity offered by MenCC vaccine when administered in different schedules at different years of life: 2 doses in the first year of life given 2 months apart (at 2 and 4 months of age), with a booster in the second year of life, or 1 dose in the first year of life (at 2 or 6 months of age), with a booster in the second year of life, or only 1 dose in the second year of life.
