Summary:

      The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term antibody persistence at 12, 24 and 48
      months after the administration of a booster dose of Menitorix™, given at 12-15 months of
      age. The children had previously received 3 doses of Menitorix™ and Infanrix IPV™ or
      Meningitec™ and Pediacel™ in infancy. In addition, the antibody persistence is to be
      investigated in children of 40-43 months of age who received a 3-dose primary vaccination of
      a MenC conjugate vaccine and a Hib containing vaccine in infancy without a booster dose of
      MenC conjugate and Hib vaccine in the second year of life.

      This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the extension phases at 12,
      24 and 48 months after the booster phase. The links to objectives and outcome measures of the
      primary phase & booster phase at 12 to 15 months are provided below:
