Primary Outcome Measures:

Comparison of percentage of subjects presenting at least one severe systemic reaction to the study vaccines during the first 7 days following immunization.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Comparison of the immunogenicity as percentage of subjects with human Serum Bactericidal Assay (hSBA) ³ 1:8 against N. meningitidis at 1 month after vaccination.
Comparison of the immunogenicity as: (1) percentage of subjects with hSBA ³1:4 and (2) hSBA geometric mean titers (GMTs) against N. meningitidis, at 1 month after vaccination.
Comparison of the immunogenicity as: (1) percentage of subjects with hSBA ³1:8, (2) percentage of subjects with hSBA ³1:4 and (3) hSBA GMTs against N. meningitidis at day 181 after vaccination.
