Brief Summary:

The purpose of this clinical trial is to describe the safety and immunogenicity of one or two doses of Menactra® (TetraMenD) administered in children less than 2 years of age.

Primary Objective:

To describe the immunogenicity profile of one or two doses of Menactra® (TetraMenD) when administered to subjects aged 9, 12, 15, or 18 months in comparison to the immunogenicity of one dose of Menomune® when administered to children aged 3 years to <6 years of age.

Exclusion Criteria :

  • History of a serious chronic disease that could interfere with trial conduct or completion.
  • Known or suspected impairment of immunologic function.
  • Acute medical illness with or without fever within the last 72 hours, or rectal temperature ≥ 100.4°F (≥ 38.0°C) or axillary temperature ≥ 99.4°F (≥ 37.4°C) on the day of inclusion.
  • History of invasive meningococcal disease (confirmed either clinically, serologically or microbiologically) or previous meningococcal vaccination.
