study to assess potential immune interference when glaxosmithkline (gsk) biologicals' menabcwy vaccine is administered to healthy subjects aged 10-25 years

Conditions: Meningitis, Meningococcal

Summary: the purpose of the current study is to evaluate whether there is immune interference when menabcwy \[consisting of menacwy lyophilized component and rmenb+omv nz (bexsero) liquid component\] is administered to healthy adolescents and adults following a 2-dose vaccination schedule with menabcwy administered 2 months apart.
