E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate superiority of IgG antibody levels against pertussis toxin (Ptx), present in the acellular vaccines, in infants at the age of 3 months of mothers having received a pertussis vaccine during pregnancy versus infants of mothers who have been vaccinated postpartum. |

|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Determine effect of maternal antibodies on infant's immune response to active immunization with pertussis (PT) vaccine and on routine DTaP-IPV-Hib-Hep and PCV10 vaccination Compare serum IgA levels against PT antigens of infants of both groups Determine rate of maternal antibody decline in infants between birth and at 2 and 3 months of age before first PT vaccination Determine levels of PT IgG antibodies transferred from mother to neonate Assess cellular immune response (Pl B cells and Mem B cells) before and 7-9 days after the booster at 11-months of age Safety evaluation after Boostrix vaccination during pregnancy Assess PT IgG antibody levels in mothers of both groups, pre-vaccination, at delivery and 6, and 12 months post-delivery; Compare infants’ pain response and maternal attitude to infant blood collection by heel stick and venipuncture. Compare IgA levels against PT antigens in breast milk of mothers of both groups at 7-10 days, 3 months and 6 months after delivery |
