- Subject’s parent(s)/guardians who, in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply, with the requirements of the protocol.
- A male or female between, and including, 15 and 16 years of age at the time of the vaccination.
- Child in care.
- Use of any investigational or non-registered product other than the study vaccine within 30 days preceding the dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
- A male or female between, and including, 15 and 16 years of age at the time of the vaccination.
- Written informed consent obtained from the parent(s)/LAR(s) of the subject.
- Written informed assent obtained from the subject in addition to the informed consent signed by the parent(s)/LAR(s).
- Healthy subjects as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.
- Documented evidence of previous vaccination with three consecutive doses of Engerix™-B Kinder in Germany: with the first two doses received by 9 months of age and the third dose received by 18 months of age.
- Female subjects of non-childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study.
- Female subjects of childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study, if the subject:
- has practiced adequate contraception for 30 days prior to vaccination, and
- has a negative pregnancy test on the day of vaccination, and
- has agreed to continue adequate contraception during the entire treatment period and for 2 months after completion of the vaccination.
Subject’s parent(s)/guardians who, in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply, with the requirements of the protocol.
Non-childbearing potential is defined as pre-menarche, current tubal ligation, hysterectomy, ovariectomy or post-menopause.
- Use of any investigational or non-registered product other than the study vaccine within 30 days preceding the dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
- Chronic administration of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the vaccine dose. For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone ≥ 20 mg/day, or equivalent. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.
- Previous hepatitis B vaccination since administration of the third dose of Engerix™-B Kinder.
- History of hepatitis B disease.
- Administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol within the period starting 30 days before study vaccine dose, or planned administration during the study period.
- Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational vaccine/product.
- History of any reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine.
- Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history and physical examination.
- Acute disease and/or fever at the time of enrollment.
- Fever is defined as temperature ≥ 37.5°C for oral, axillary or tympanic route, or ≥ 38.0°C on rectal route. The preferred route for recording temperature in this study will be axillary.
- Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the 3 months preceding the study vaccine dose or planned administration during the study period.
- Pregnant or lactating female.
- Female planning to become pregnant or planning to discontinue contraceptive precautions.
