Study of Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine (ADACEL®) as a Booster in Adolescents

This study is designed to assess the immunogenicity and safety of tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid and acellular pertussis vaccine (ADACEL®, Tdap vaccine) as a booster dose in adolescents in Japan.

Primary Objective:

* To assess the immunogenicity of Tdap (SP306) when administered as a single dose in Japanese adolescents

Secondary Objective:

* To assess the safety of Tdap vaccine when administered as a single dose in Japanese adolescents.

All participants will receive a single booster dose of Tdap vaccine (ADACEL®) on Day 0 and undergo immunogenicity assessment from blood samples provided prior to, and 28 days post-vaccination. Tolerability and safety will be monitored up to 28 days post-vaccination.

Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

* Aged 11 or 12 years on the day of inclusion
* Informed consent form and assent form signed and dated by the parent(s) / legal representative and the subject respectively

* Able to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with all trial procedures
* For female subjects, either pre-menarchal, or post-menarchal with a negative urine pregnancy test.

* Planned participation in another clinical trial during the present trial period
* Receipt of blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months, that might interfere with assessment of the immune response
* Receipt of any vaccine within the 4 weeks preceding the trial vaccination, except for influenza vaccination, which may be received at least 2 weeks before the study vaccine
