This study is evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine compared to control groups receiving licensed Hib or MenC conjugate vaccines, each administered at 2, 4, 6, and 12 to 15 months of age. Co-administration with live, attenuated measles, mumps, and rubella combination vaccine; and with live, attenuated varicella vaccine will be assessed with administration of the booster dose.
