• Informed consent form signed by both parents or by the legal guardian
• Parents or a legal guardian able to read and write the local language
• Parents or a legal guardian able to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with the study procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Moderate or severe acute illness with or without fever
• Participation in another clinical trial in the 30 days preceding study vaccination
• Planned participation in another clinical trial during the present study period
• Immunisation with a pneumococcal vaccine prior to study vaccination or planned during the participation in the study
• Received more than 3 doses of a hexavalent vaccine prior to study vaccination
• Received any vaccination in the 30 days preceding the trial
• History of serological/microbiologically-confirmed diagnosis of infection due to pertussis, tetanus, diphtheria, poliomyelitis, hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b and/or Streptococcus pneumoniae
• Congenital or acquired humoral/cellular immunodeficiency or immunosuppressive therapy such as long-term systemic corticosteroids therapy (≥ 2 mg/kg/day prednisone equivalent for ≥ 14 days in the 30 days prior to study vaccination)
• Systemic or local hypersensitivity to any of the study vaccine components (including neomycin, streptomycin, polymyxin B and formaldehyde)
• History of a life-threatening reaction (such as encephalopathy, Hypotonic-Hyporesponsive Episode (HHE), rectal body temperature ≥ 40.0°C, convulsions with or without fever) to any vaccine containing the same components as the study vaccines
• Blood or blood-derived products (immunoglobulins) received during 3 months prior to study vaccination
• Known HIV seropositivity
