This study is part of the post-licensure commitment to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Meningo A+C vaccine in healthy Chinese children 2 to 6 years of age. Primary Objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority in terms of seroconversion rate for serogroups A and C, 30 days after a single dose of Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal (Groups A and C) Polysaccharide Vaccine versus Lanzhou Institute for Biological Products Meningococcal (Groups A and C) Polysaccharide Vaccine. Secondary Objective: * To describe the immunogenicity for serogroups A and C, 30 days after administration of the study vaccines given as a single dose. * To describe the full reactogenicity profile after administration of the study vaccines given as a single dose.
Eligible participants will receive one injection of either Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal (Groups A and C) Polysaccharide Vaccine or Lanzhou Institute for Biological Products Meningococcal (Groups A and C) Polysaccharide Vaccine and will be monitored for safety and immunogenicity for up to 30 days post-vaccination.

Number of Participants With Seroconversion Following Vaccination With Either Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine or Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine
Seroconversion status was defined as antibody titers against meningococcal serogroups A and C, 30 days after vaccine administration ≥ 4-fold increase from pre-vaccination level measured by 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR).
Time frame: Day 30 post-vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Post-vaccination Titer ≥1:8 for Serogroup A Before and Following Vaccination of Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine or Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine
Meningococcal Group A antibodies were measured by 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR)..
Time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 30 post-vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Post-vaccination Titer ≥1:8 for Serogroup C Before and Following Vaccination of Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine or Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine
Meningococcal Group C antibodies were measured by 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR)..
Time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 30 post-vaccination
Geometric Mean Titers of Serogroup A and C Antibodies Following Vaccination With Either Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine or Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine
Meningococcal Group A and C antibodies were measured by 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR).
Time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 30 post-vaccination
Geometric Mean Titers of Serogroup A Antibodies Following Vaccination With Either Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine or Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine
Meningococcal Group A antibodies were measured by 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR).
Time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 30 post-vaccination
Geometric Mean Titers of Serogroup C Antibodies Following Vaccination With Either Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine or Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine
Meningococcal Group C antibodies were measured by 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR).
Time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 30 post-vaccination
Number of Participants Reporting a Solicited Injection Site or Systemic Reactions Following Vaccination of Sanofi Pasteur Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine or Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Meningococcal A+C Polysaccharide Vaccine

Grade 3 injection site: Pain, Incapacitating, unable to perform usual activities; Erythema and Swelling, ≥30 mm. Grade 3 systemic reactions: Fever, temperature \>39˚C; Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia, Significant, preventing daily activity.
Time frame: Day 0 up to Day 7 post-vaccination
