Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was conducted in healthy infants and will provide new immunogenicity and safety data for the modified process hepatitis B vaccine. This study was conducted to address the following: to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety data of the 5 microgram dose of the modified process hepatitis B vaccine compared with a 10 microgram dose of the modified process hepatitis B vaccine, to evaluate another dosing schedule of 2, 4, and 6 months, and to provide descriptive immunogenicity data of another marketed vaccine (ENGERIX-B®).
