Brief Summary
Primary :1.To demonstrate a sufficient immune response of rMenB+OMV NZ, when given concomitantly with routine infant vaccines to healthy infants at 2, 4 and 6 and 2, 3 and 4 months of age, as measured by percentage of subjects with serum bactericidal activity (SBA) titer ≥1:5, at 1 month after the third vaccination Secondary :To demonstrate that immunogenicity of routine infant vaccines, when given concomitantly with rMenB+OMV NZ to healthy infants at 2, 3 and 4 months of age, was non-inferior to that of routine infant vaccines given without rMenB+OMV NZ. 2. To demonstrate that the immunogenicity of rMenB+OMV NZ when given concomitantly with routine infant vaccines was non-inferior to that of rMenB+OMV NZ given without routine infant vaccines at 2, 4 and 6 months of age. 3. To assess prevalence of meningococcal B antibodies over the study period by evaluation of SBA, at baseline and at 1 month after third vaccination, in subjects- received routine infant vaccine without rMenB+OMV NZ.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Percentage of Subjects With Serum Bactericidal Activity ≥1:5 After Receiving Three Doses of rMenB+OMV NZ Vaccine
The percentage of subjects with serum bactericidal activity(hSBA)titer ≥1:5 after receiving three doses of rMenB+OMV NZ vaccine were evaluated to demonstrate sufficient immune response following rMenB+OMV NZ vaccination, when given concomitantly with routine infant vaccines to healthy infants. The serum bactericidal antibodies directed against serogroup B meningococci, are measured by human complement Serum Bactericidal Assay (hSBA). The immune response was considered sufficient for groups B+R246 and B+R234 if the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% confidence interval was ≥ 70% for all three strains.
One month after third Men B vaccination
Safety and Tolerability of 3 Doses of rMenB - Concomitantly With Routine Infant Vaccines at 2, 4 and 6 Months of Age - Concomitantly With Routine Vaccines at 2, 3 and 4 Months of Age - Alone at 2, 4 and 6 Months of Age
Safety and Tolerability of 3 Doses of rMenB was assessed in terms of the number of subjects who reported solicited local and systemic adverse events when administered concomitantly with routine infant vaccines at 2,4,6 months of age (B+R246) to when rMenB+OMV NZ and routine vaccines were administered separately (group B246\_R357).
10 months (groups 1 and 2); 8 months (groups 3 and 4)
