Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Comparison of percentage of subjects presenting at least one severe systemic reaction to the study vaccines [ Time Frame: during the first 7 days following immunization ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Comparison of the immunogenicity as percentage of subjects with human Serum Bactericidal Assay (hSBA) ³ 1:8 against N. meningitidis [ Time Frame: at 1 month after vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Comparison of the immunogenicity as: (1) percentage of subjects with hSBA ³1:4 and (2) hSBA geometric mean titers (GMTs) against N. meningitidis [ Time Frame: at 1 month after vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Comparison of the immunogenicity as: (1) percentage of subjects with hSBA ³1:8, (2) percentage of subjects with hSBA ³1:4 and (3) hSBA GMTs against N. meningitidis [ Time Frame: at day 181 after vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
