- Before birth:
- Subject whose parent(s)/Legally Acceptable Representative(s) (LARs), in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol.
- Before birth:
- Subject expected to become Child in care
- Subject whose parent(s)/Legally Acceptable Representative(s) (LARs), in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol.
- Written informed consent (including consent to obtain a cord blood sample at birth) obtained from the parent(s)/LAR(s) of the subject. After Birth:
- Subject for whom updated and re-signed informed consent and confirmation of eligibility is available not later than 5 working days after birth.
- Cord blood sample collection of at least 3 mL, at birth. For extension period:
- Subject is enrolled at a study site that is participating in the extension period follow-up.
- Subject whose parent(s)/LAR(s), in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol.
- Written informed consent (or witnessed thumb printed consent in case of an illiterate subject) obtained from the parent(s)/LAR(s) of the subject.
- Previous participation in the primary study (from birth up to the age of 2 years).
Before birth:
- Subject expected to become Child in care
- Subjects whose parent(s)/LAR(s) are below the age of 18 or the legal consenting age of the respective country if this is higher. After Birth:
- Child in care
- Newborn with a gestational age of less than 28 weeks.
- Subjects with any congenital condition that will require an expected postnatal stay in hospital of more than 12 consecutive weeks.
- Subjects with major congenital defects or serious chronic illness limiting life expectancy to less than 5 years.
- Subjects with any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition (including positive infection with human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]), based on medical history, physical examination or positive test result. For extension period:
- Child in care.
