Immunogenicity and Safety of Boostrix Polio Vaccine as a Booster Dose in 5 to 6-year-old Children.

Summary

This phase 3b study will compare the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of the dTpa-IPV vaccine to that of a DTPa-IPV vaccine when administered as a booster dose in healthy children 5-6 years of age who have received three primary vaccination doses of DTPa-based vaccine according to the "3-5-11" month schedule recommended in Italy. In this study, MMRV vaccine will also be co-administered to all children.
