Antibody Persistence in Healthy Children After Primary and Booster DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP-T Vaccine or Control Vaccine

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term immunogenicity produced in children by the investigational hexavalent vaccine (DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP-T) given in Study A3L15 (NCT 00362336).

Primary Objective: To describe the antibody long term persistence at 3.5 and 4.5 years of age following a 3 dose primary series vaccination of either DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP-T or CombAct-Hib™ + Oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) + Engerix™ B vaccination at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age and a booster vaccination of DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP-T or CombAct-Hib™ + OPV at 15-18 months

All participants must have received the primary series of vaccinations and a booster vaccination in Study A3L15 (NCT 00362336).

Participants will receive no vaccination in this study but will undergo immunologic assessments at 3.5 and 4.5 years of age.

• Diphtheria
• Tetanus
• Whooping Cough
• Hepatitis B
• Poliomyelitis

• Group 1
  Participants previously received 3 doses and a booster dose of the investigational vaccine DTaP IPV Hep B PRP-T.
• Group 2
  Participants previously received 3 doses CombAct-Hib™ + Engerix™ B + OPV and a booster dose of CombAct-Hib™ + Oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) vaccine.
• Group 3
  Participants previously received 3 doses DTaP IPV Hep B PRP-T; a dose of Engerix™ B at birth, and a booster dose of DTaP IPV Hep B PRP-T vaccine.
