Description of intervention(s) / exposure

Other interventions - DTaP-IPV/Hib
Other interventions - HBV
Other interventions - PCV
Other interventions - MMR

Experimental: MenACWY-CRM + Routine Vaccines - Infants received 3 doses of MenACWY-CRM at 2, 4 and 6 months as a infant series vaccination and a toddler dose at 12 months of age.
Infants also received routine vaccines - 3 doses each of DTaP-IPV/Hib, HBV and PCV at 2, 4 and 6 months; and 1 dose each of PCV and MMR at 12 months.

Experimental: Routine Vaccines - Infants received routine vaccines - 3 doses each of DTaP-IPV/Hib, HBV and PCV at 2, 4 and 6 months; and 1 dose each of PCV and MMR at 12 months.
In addition subjects were offered a dose of MenACWY-CRM at 18 months as a benefit of participating in this study. However, blood was not drawn for immunogenicity analysis after this dose.


Other interventions: MenACWY-CRM
One dose (0.5 mL) of MenACWY conjugate vaccine supplied as an extemporaneous mixing just before injection of the lyophilized component (MenA) reconstituted with the liquid component (MenCWY) was administered at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months of age as IM injections in the anterolateral area of the thigh.

Other interventions: DTaP-IPV/Hib
IM injections of 3 doses of 0.5 mL each of DTaP-IPV/Hib supplied in prefilled vial were administered at 2, 4 and 6 months of age in the anterolateral area of the thigh.

Other interventions: HBV
IM injections of 3 doses of 0.5 mL each of HBV supplied in prefilled vial were administered at 2, 4 and 6 months of age in the anterolateral area of the thigh.

Other interventions: PCV
IM injections of 4 doses of 0.5 mL each of PCV supplied in prefilled vial were administered at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months of age in the anterolateral area of the thigh.

Other interventions: MMR
Subcutaneous (SC) injection of 1 dose of 0.5 mL of MMR obtained by extemporaneous mixing just before injection of powder and the solvent for solution was administered at 12 months of age in the anterolateral area of the thigh.
