Summary

Primary Objectives:

1. To present the safety profile after a 5th dose of DAPTACEL® in children 4 to 6 years of age who have previously received 4 doses of DAPTACEL® or Pentacel™.

2. To present the pre-Dose 5 and post-Dose 5 antibody responses to the antigens in DAPTACEL® in children 4 to 6 years of age who have previously received 4 doses of DAPTACEL® or Pentacel™.

Observational Objectives:

1. To compare under equivalence criteria the pre-Dose 5 and post-Dose 5 antibody responses to the antigens in DAPTACEL® in children 4 to 6 years of age who have previously received 4 doses of DAPTACEL® or Pentacel™.

2. To present the pre-vaccination anti-poliovirus GMTs and seroprotection rates.

3. To present the post-vaccination anti-poliovirus GMTs and seroprotection rates among subjects receiving a 4th dose of IPV concurrently with the 5th dose of DAPTACEL and a 2nd dose of MMR.

- Judged to be in good health on the basis of reported medical history and physical

examination

- Able and willing to attend the scheduled visits and to comply with the study

procedures

- Has documented complete infant series and the 4th dose of DAPTACEL® or Pentacel™ in

Study P3T06 (i. e., 4 previous administrations of DAPTACEL® or Pentacel™).

Exclusion Criteria:

- Received a 5th dose of DTaP-containing vaccine

- a. For subjects in the DAPTACEL® arm: Received a 4th dose of IPV vaccine and/or a 2nd

dose of MMR vaccine scheduled at 4 to 6 years of age. b. For subjects in the Pentacel™ arm: Received a 2nd dose of MMR vaccine scheduled at 4 to 6 years of age

- Severe hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine such as an anaphylactic

reaction observed following a previous vaccination

- Serious underlying chronic disease, including, but not limited to:·Diabetes mellitus;

malignancy; cardiopulmonary disease; renal, endocrinologic, or hepatic dysfunction; or hematologic disorder·Unstable or evolving neurologic disorders that may predispose the subject to seizures or neurologic deterioration. These may include progressive neurologic disorders (e. g., infantile spasms, uncontrolled progressive encephalopathy) and encephalopathy within 7 days following previous vaccination

- Known or suspected primary or acquired disease of the immune system

- Administration of immune globulin, other blood products within the last 3 months,

injected or oral corticosteroids or other immunomodulator therapy within 6 weeks prior to study vaccination. Individuals on a tapering dose schedule of oral steroids lasting <7 days may be included in the trial as long as they have not received more than 1 course within the last 2 weeks prior to enrollment

- Had allergy shots started or had changes in regimen or dosing of allergy shots within

4 weeks prior to study vaccination

- Receipt of any other vaccine within 30 days prior to study vaccination, or planning to

receive another vaccine within 30 days before the Visit 2 blood draw (if applicable)

- Any other condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would pose a health

risk to the subject or interfere with the evaluation of the vaccine

- Enrolled in another vaccine trial

- Personal history of physician-diagnosed or laboratory-confirmed pertussis disease

within the past 30 months

- Known or suspected allergy to any of the vaccines or vaccine components intended for

use in this study.
