Brief Summary  


The study will enroll Infants 6-10 weeks of age. Subjects will be randomized to receive either 3-dose primary vaccination series of Fully liquid pentavalent DTwP-Hib-IPV vaccine EasyfourPolTM, Panacea Biotec Ltd.) of Panacea Biotec Ltd. as a single intramuscular injection or QuadrovaxTM (Tetravalent DTwP /Hib Vaccine, Serum Institute of India Ltd.) Co Administered with Imovax Polio® (Salk Based Inactivated Polio Vaccine, Sanofi Pasteur India Pvt. Ltd.) as two separate injections intramuscularly.  The vaccinations will be done at 0, 4 and 8 weeks of enrolment.  Local and systemic reactions will be observed on each vaccination day (up to 30 minutes) and on 4 subsequent days (day 0-3) after each dose. Adverse reactions will also be monitored for 28 days after each vaccination. Blood sample will be obtained from subjects at visit 1(before first vaccination and at visit 4 (Follow up visit) for estimation of Anti-diphtheria, Anti-tetanus, Anti-PRP, Anti-pertussis, Anti pertussis toxin antibodies and neutralizing antibodies against Polio. The samples will be sent to Panacea’s central laboratory for analysis.
