REVAXIS® Versus DT Polio® as a Second Booster in 6 Year-old Children

Comparison of the Immunogenicity and Safety of a Combined Adsorbed Low Dose Diphtheria, Tetanus and Inactivated Poliomyelitis Vaccine (REVAXIS®) With a Combined Diphtheria, Tetanus and Inactivated Poliomyelitis Vaccine (DT Polio®) When Given as a Booster Dose at 6 Years of Age

Primary objective:

To demonstrate the non inferiority between REVAXIS® and DT Polio® when given as a second booster to healthy 6 year-old children .

Secondary objectives:

• Additional immunogenicity assessments.
• To describe the safety profile of a single dose of REVAXIS® or DT-Polio®

Inclusion Criteria:

2. 6 year-old child on vaccination day,
3. Child previously vaccinated with three doses of a diphtheria, tetanus and poliomyelitis containing vaccine given alone or in combination within the first 6 months of life and a booster dose of a diphtheria, tetanus and poliomyelitis containing vaccine given alone or in combination at 16 - 18 months of life (±2 months),
4. Consent form signed by both parents, or by the legal representative, properly informed about the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Child who had received less or more than 4 doses of a diphtheria, tetanus and/or poliomyelitis containing vaccine,

4. Child who present with immune impairment or humoral/cellular deficiency, neoplastic disease or depressed immunity,
5. Child who had received within the previous 150 days or who will receive during the course of the study, any immunoglobulins or blood derived products,

7. Known personal history of encephalopathy, seizure disorder or progressive, evolving or unstable neurological condition,
8. Child who had presented severe hypersensitivity following an earlier immunization against diphtheria and/or tetanus,
9. Known history of thrombocytopenia or any coagulation disorder that would contraindicate intramuscular injection,
10. Acute severe febrile illness and/or oral temperature ≥37.5°C at the time of vaccination
