Exclusion Criteria: Medical conditions * Current or previous, confirmed or suspected disease caused by N. meningitidis. * Household contact with and/or intimate exposure to an individual with laboratory confirmed N. meningitidis infection from birth. * Progressive, unstable or uncontrolled clinical conditions. * Clinical conditions representing a contraindication to intramuscular vaccination and blood draws. * Any neuroinflammatory disorders, congenital and peripartum neurological conditions, encephalopathies, seizures. * Congenital or peripartum disorders resulting in a chronic condition * Major congenital defects, as assessed by the investigator. * History of any reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine(s)/product(s). * Hypersensitivity, including allergy, to any component of vaccines, including diphtheria toxoid (CRM197) and latex medicinal products or medical equipment whose use is foreseen in this study. * Abnormal function or modification of the immune system resulting from: * Autoimmune disorders or immunodeficiency syndromes. * Systemic administration of corticosteroids (PO/IV/IM) for more than 14 consecutive days starting from birth until Visit 5. This will mean prednisone equivalent ≥0.5 mg/kg/day with maximum 20 mg/day. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed. * Administration of antineoplastic and immunomodulating agents or radiotherapy from birth. * Administration of long-acting immune-modifying drugs at any time during the study period. * Any other clinical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might pose additional risk to the participant due to participation in the study. Prior/Concomitant therapy * Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug, vaccine or medical device) other than the study vaccines from birth, or planned use during the study period. * Previous vaccination with any meningococcal vaccine. * Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products or plasma derivatives from birth or planned administration during the study period until Visit 5. * Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days in total) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs during the period starting from birth until Visit 5. For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone equivalent ≥0.5 mg/kg/day with maximum 20 mg/day. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed. Prior/Concurrent clinical study experience * Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the participant has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational vaccine/product (drug or medical device). Other exclusions * Child in care. * Study personnel as an immediate family or household member. * For contraindications to administering routine vaccines foreseen in the study, refer to their approved product label/package insert.
