For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone equivalent =20 mg/day for adult participants / =0.5 mg/kg/day with maximum of 20 mg/day for paediatric participants. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed. Prior/Concurrent clinical study experience

• Child in care.
• Pregnant or lactating female.
• Female planning to become pregnant / planning to discontinue contraceptive precautions during the windows reported in the inclusion criterion.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of participants with human serum bactericidal assay (hSBA) titers = lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) for each N. meningitidis serogroup B indicator strains	The immune response to 2 doses of the MenABCWY vaccine administered on a 0-, 24-month schedule, and a 0-, 48-month schedule is evaluated against each N. meningitidis serogroup B indicator strains.	At Baseline (Day 1)
Primary	Percentage of participants with hSBA titers = LLOQ for each N. meningitidis serogroup B indicator strains	The immune response to 2 doses of the MenABCWY vaccine administered on a 0-, 24-month schedule, and a 0-, 48-month schedule is evaluated against each N. meningitidis serogroup B indicator strains.	At 1 month after the second dose of MenABCWY (Day 751 for the ABCWY-24 Group and Day 1471 for the ABCWY-48 Group)
Primary	Percentage of participants with solicited administration site events	The solicited administration site events include pain, redness, swelling and induration. Redness, swelling, and induration are summarized according to defined severity grading scales: None (0 to 24mm); Mild (25 to 50mm); Moderate (51 to 100mm); Severe (>100mm). Injection site pain is summarized according to "mild", "moderate" or "severe".	During the 7 days (including the day of vaccination) following each vaccination (Vaccines administered at Day 1, Day 721 and Day 1441)
Primary	Percentage of participants with solicited systemic events	The solicited systemic events include fever, headache, nausea, myalgia, arthralgia and fatigue. Fever is defined as body temperature 38.0°C (100.4°F). The preferred location for measuring temperature in this study is the oral route. Solicited systemic events (except fever) are summarized according to "mild", "moderate" or "severe".	During the 7 days (including the day of vaccination) following each vaccination (Vaccines administered at Day 1, Day 721 and Day 1441)
Primary	Percentage of participants with any unsolicited adverse events (AEs) including all serious adverse events (SAEs), AEs leading to withdrawal, adverse events of special interest (AESIs) and medically attended AEs	An unsolicited AE is an AE that was not included in a list of solicited events and must have been spontaneously communicated by a participant/participant's parent(s)/ Legally Acceptable Representative(s) who has signed the informed consent. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject or is an abnormal pregnancy outcome. AESIs are predefined AEs of scientific and medical concern specific to the product or program, for which ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the investigator to the sponsor can be appropriate, because such an event might warrant further investigation in order to characterise and understand it. Medically attended AEs are symptoms or illnesses requiring a hospitalisation, or an emergency room visit, or visit to/by a health care provider.	During the 30 days (including the day of vaccination) following each vaccination (Vaccines administered at Day 1, Day 721 and Day 1441)
Primary	Percentage of participants with SAEs, AEs leading to withdrawal, AESIs and medically attended AEs	An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject or is an abnormal pregnancy outcome. AESIs are predefined (serious or non-serious) AEs of scientific and medical concern specific to the product or program, for which ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the investigator to the sponsor can be appropriate, because such an event might warrant further investigation in order to characterise and understand it. Medically attended AEs are symptoms or illnesses requiring a hospitalisation, or an emergency room visit, or visit to/by a health care provider.	During the 6 months (including the day of vaccination) following the first vaccination (Vaccine administered at Day 1)

Secondary	Percentage of participants with hSBA titers = LLOQ for N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W and Y	The immune response to 1 and 2 doses of the MenABCWY vaccine administered on a 0-, 24-month schedule, and a 0-, 48-month schedule is evaluated against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W and Y.	At Baseline (Day 1), 1 month after the first dose of MenABCWY (Day 31) and 1 month after second dose of MenABCWY (Day 751 for the ABCWY-24 Group and Day 1471 for the ABCWY-48 Group)
