A Study of Meningococcal Vaccine, Menactra® in Healthy Subjects in India

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a single dose of Menactra® vaccine to support registration.

Primary Objectives:

* To describe the antibody titers measured by serum bactericidal activity using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR) before and after Menactra® vaccination.
* To describe the safety profile of participants after one dose of Menactra®.

Participants will be enrolled in three age cohorts: Children: 2 - 11 years of age; Adolescents: 12 - 17 years of age, and Adults: 18 - 55 years of age to receive a single dose of Menactra®. They will be followed for a duration of 30 days after vaccination.

* Chronic illness, at a stage that could interfere with trial conduct or completion, in the opinion of the investigator
* Current alcohol abuse or drug addiction that may interfere with the subject's ability to comply with trial procedures
* Receipt of blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months, that might interfere with the assessment of immune response
* Receipt or planned receipt of any vaccine (other than influenza vaccine which can be given 2 weeks or more before vaccination) in the 4 weeks preceding or following the trial vaccination
* Known Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen , or Hepatitis C seropositivity as reported by the participant/parent/guardian and/or based on medical history
