28 days and 1 year
Change from baseline of functional pertussis-specific antibody levels to 28 days and 1 year after vaccination with Boostrix-IPV
28 days and 1 year
Change from baseline of B cell responses against Bordetella pertussis vaccine proteins after vaccination with Boostrix-IPV
7 days, 28 days and 1 year

Study Arms (4)
Children aged between 7-10 years of age
ACTIVE COMPARATORHealthy children from 7 up to 10 years of age, determined by date of birth (dd/mm/yyyy), at the time of the first visit. Male + female, approximately equally distributed, n = 36 in each country. They will receive Boostrix®-IPV combination vaccine.
Children aged between 11-15 years of age
ACTIVE COMPARATORHealthy children from 11 up to 15 years of age, determined by date of birth (dd/mm/yyyy), at the time of the first visit. Male + female, approximately equally distributed, n = 36 in each country aiming for comparable numbers of participants with aP vs wP vaccination background. They will receive Boostrix®-IPV combination vaccine.
Adults aged between 20-34 years of age
ACTIVE COMPARATORHealthy young adults from 20 up to 34 years of age, determined by date of birth (dd/mm/yyyy), at the time of the first visit. Male + female, approximately equally distributed, n = 25 in each country. They will receive Boostrix®-IPV combination vaccine.
Adults aged between 60-70 years of age
ACTIVE COMPARATOROlder adults from 60 up to 70 years of age determined by date of birth (dd/mm/yyyy), at the time of the first visit. Male + female, approximately equally distributed, n = 25 in each country. They will receive Boostrix®-IPV combination vaccine.
Interventions
A licensed aP (acellular) booster vaccine developed by GlaxoSmithKline.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Normal general health
- Within the right age group for the cohort
- Received all regular vaccines for their age group according to the Dutch NIP, UK NIP or Finnish NIP; a copy of the vaccination booklet will be included in the participant's documents. If booklet is not available for cohorts A, B and C, vaccination status will be checked although, for cohort C and D this booklet might not be available due to their age;
- Provision of written informed consent
- Willing to adhere to the protocol and be available during the study period.
You may not qualify if:
- Chronic infection
- Known or suspected immune deficiency;
- History of any neurologic disorder, including epilepsy;
- Previous administration of serum products (including immunoglobulins) within 6 months before vaccination and blood sampling;
- Known and/or suspected allergy to any of the vaccine components (by medical history);
- Occurrence of a serious adverse events (SAEs) after primary DTwP-IPV vaccination, DTaP-IPV vaccination or any other vaccination (by medical history);
- Children between 8 and 10 years of age eligible for cohort A in the Netherlands who have already received the diphtheria and tetanus toxoid vaccine (DT)-IPV booster vaccination according to Dutch NIP around 9 years of age;
- Mixed wP and aP priming within a participant, cohort B;
- If a participant has a severe acute (infectious) illness or fever (\>38°C) within 14 days prior to T0, participation will be postponed or cancelled. In case the participant has fever within 2 days before sampling at T4 or T5, the appointment will be postponed for 4 days, if possible.
- Antibiotic use within 14 days of enrolment.
- Any vaccination within a month before enrolment.
