red alone, followed by a second Menactra vaccine dose given alone (N=404), or with MMRV vaccine (N=302), or with PCV7 (N=422). For all participants, sera were obtained approximately 30 days after last vaccination. There were no substantive differences in demographic characteristics between the vaccine groups. The median age range for administration of the first dose of Menactra was 278-279 days of age.

Administration of Menactra to children at 12 months and 15 months of age was eva luated in a US study. Prior to the first dose, 33.3% [n=16/48] of participants had an hSBA titer ≥1:8 to Serogroup A, and 0-2% [n=0-1 of 50-51] to Serogroups C, Y and W-135. After the second dose, percentages of participants with an hSBA titer ≥1:8 were: 85.2%, Serogroup A [n=46/54]; 100.0%, Serogroup
