DTPw-HBV/Hib

PSA/C = serogroup A/C polysaccharide ; % subjects = percentage of subjects with seroprotective/seropositive titre/concentration of at least 1:8 (SBA-MenA/C), 0.3 μg/ml (anti PSA/C), 95% CI = 95% confidence interval

GMT/GMC = geometric mean antibody titre/concentration calculated on all subjects.
