Evaluation of the Persistence of Bactericidal Antibodies in Adolescents and Adults Who Received a Single Dose of Menactra® Four to Eight Years Earlier

To evaluate the persistence of bactericidal antibodies in adolescents and adults who
received one dose of Menactra® vaccine approximately four to eight years earlier

All eligible subjects will provide a blood sample at Visit 1, after which their
participation in the study will be terminated. An age-matched meningococcal-vaccine naïve
control group will be recruited to provide a blood sample for baseline antibody level
evaluation.

No vaccine will be administered in this study.
