Brief Summary  

This is a 28-day open label study in pediatric population. The study design includes 30 healthy pediatric subjects of age group ≥ 5 to ≤ 6 years for pilot clinical trial to investigate safety, tolerability, acceptability, and performance of needle free injection system in delivery of DTP vaccine. Prospective healthy pediatric subjects will be identified for the study by the study investigator/study team after the screening procedure and qualifying the study in-/exclusion criteria. This will be a one arm study. All study procedures will begin only after obtaining written informed consent from the subject’s parent’s and/or legally acceptable representatives (LARs). Each subject will receive one dose of DTP vaccine (INFANRIX, 0.5 ml, Intramuscular) in the lateral one-third of the mid-thigh muscle (skin around the chosen injection site should be intact and free from irritations, abrasions, and bruises). Subjects will be evaluated for safety, acceptability, tolerability and performance for Needle free injection system. Investigator will perform an assessment of injection site before administration of vaccine and at 2 min and between 20 to 30 min following injection. Safety of the NFIS will be assessed in terms of Injection site reactions as assessed according to the toxicity scale provided by US FDA guidance with grading 0-4 and incidence of Adverse events.

Photos of injection site will be taken by the principal investigator before administration of vaccine and at 2 min and between 20 to 30 min following injection for record purpose. For visit 2 subjects will be requested to report the local site reactions and systemic reactions telephonically and send the photos of injection site to the Principal Investigator. Subjects complaining of site reactions will be called at the site for further evaluation. Acceptability and Tolerability of NFIS in pediatric population will be studied through a questionnaire (From parents/LAR and nurse and pain score using VAS scale respectively. To assess the performance of NFIS in delivering the DTP vaccine; antibody titer measurements will be performed at the baseline and at day 28 post vaccination (6) using kit and as procedure.
