Written informed consent obtained from both parents or from the guardian(s) of the subject.
Free of obvious health problems as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.
Born after a gestation period of at least 36 weeks.
Are the trial subjects under 18? yes
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) no

F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine(s) within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the entire study period, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational product (pharmaceutical product or device).
Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs since birth. (For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone, or equivalent, >= 0.5 mg/kg/day. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed).
Planned administration/administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol during the period starting from one month (30 days) before and up to one month (30 days) after each dose of study vaccine with the exception of pandemic influenza vaccine.
Previous vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b and/or Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Children for whom hepatitis B vaccination is required according to the local recommendations or based on medical needs (for example if the mother is a hepatitis B virus carrier), should not be offered to participate in this randomised single blind study, in which two third of the subjects will not receive hepatitis B vaccination.
History of or intercurrent diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, polio, Haemophilus influenzae type b disease.
History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccines.
History of any neurologic disorders or seizures.
Acute disease at the time of enrolment. (Acute disease is defined as the presence of a moderate or severe illness with or without fever. All vaccines can be administered to persons with a minor illness such as diarrhoea or mild upper respiratory infection, provided the body temperature is <38°C (rectal measurement) or <37.5°C for oral/axillary/tympanic measurements). Study entry should be delayed until the illness has improved.
Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition based on medical history and physical examination (no laboratory testing required).
A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
Major congenital defects or serious chronic illness.
Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products since birth or planned administration during the study period.
