Have signed/thumb-printed, voluntary, informed consent provided for them by their parent/Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) prior to performance of any study-specific procedure. 2. Be a male or female infant aged 6 months (±2 weeks) or 6 weeks (+2 weeks) of age at the time of the first study vaccination. 3. Have a parent/LAR, who can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol. 4. Healthy as established by medical history, clinical examination, and laboratory assessment. 5. Have received all routine childhood vaccinations as per the age. 6. Have been born at full term (>=37 weeks gestation) based on maternal report and additional antenatal records if available. 7. Have a parent/LAR who is willing to avoid the administration of local herbal/traditional medications (including topical treatments) throughout the study period and who is willing to consult, as applicable, the study team prior to the use on other medications including over the-counter medications not supplied by the study team (except in the case of an emergency) throughout the study period. 8.

Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug, vaccine, or medical device) other than the study intervention during the period starting 28 days before the first dose of study intervention (Day –28 to Day 1), or planned use during the study period. 23. A vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol administered during the period starting at 14 days before the first dose and ending 14 days after the last dose of study interventions administration for live vaccines or 7 days in case of inactivated vaccines, with the exception of flu vaccines or Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine which may be considered on a case-by-case basis. 24. Have been administered immunoglobulins and/or any blood products or plasma derivatives, or bone marrow transplantation, during the period starting 3 months before the first dose of study interventions or planned administration during the study period. 25.
