Immunogenicity and Safety of Meningococcal Vaccine GSK 134612 Versus Mencevax™ ACWY in Healthy 18-25 Year Olds

Summary

The purpose of the observer-blinded study is to determine the immunogenicity and safety of one dose of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' meningococcal vaccine GSK 134612 compared to one dose of Mencevax™ ACWY in healthy subjects 18-25 years of age. In addition, this study will compare the immunogenicity of two lots of GSK's 134612 vaccine.
