Conditions: Acellular Pertussis; Tetanus; Diphtheria; Haemophilus Influenzae Type b

Summary: the purpose of this booster study is to evaluate the immune persistence in healthy chinese subjects primed in study nct01086423 with gsk biologicals' infanrix-ipv+hib™ (dtpa-ipv/hib) vaccine. the study will also evaluate the safety and immune response of these subjects to a booster dose of infanrix-hib™ (dtpa/hib) and poliorix™ (ipv) vaccine. this protocol posting deals with objectives \& outcome measures of the booster phase. the objectives \& outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (nct number = nct01086423).
