The purpose of the study was to evaluate the immunogenicity and describe the safety of Meningococcal Polysaccharide (Serogroups A, C, Y and W) Tetanus Toxoid (MenACYW) Conjugate vaccine compared to the licensed Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y and W 135) Oligosaccharide Diphtheria CRM197 (MENVEO®) vaccine in children 2 to 9 years of age in the United States (US) and Puerto Rico. Primary objective: \- To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the vaccine seroresponse to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of a single dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine compared to that observed following the administration of a single dose of MENVEO® in children aged 2 to 9 years. Secondary objectives: * To compare the serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) antibody geometric mean titers (GMTs) of meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine to those observed following the administration of MENVEO® in children 2 to 9 years of age. * To evaluate the hSBA antibody GMTs of meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine and those observed following the administration of MENVEO® in children 2 to 5 years of age, and in children 6 to 9 years of age, respectively. * To evaluate the hSBA vaccine seroresponse to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W before and 30 days (+14 days) post-vaccination in children 2 to 5 years of age, and in children 6 to 9 years of age, respectively. Observational objective: \- To describe the safety profile of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine and that of the licensed MENVEO®.
Healthy children were randomized and received a single dose of either MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or MENVEO®. They were assessed for immunogenicity at baseline (pre-vaccination) and at 30-44 days post-vaccination. Safety information were collected post-vaccination and throughout the entire study.

Percentage of Participants Achieving Seroresponse Measured by Serum Bactericidal Assay Using Human Complement (hSBA) Against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W Following Vaccination With Either MenACYW Conjugate Vaccine or MENVEO® Vaccine
Antibody titers against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W were measured by hSBA. The hSBA vaccine seroresponse against serogroups A, C, Y, and W was defined as post-vaccination hSBA titers greater than or equal to (\>=) 1:16 for participants with pre-vaccination hSBA titers less than (\<) 1:8 or at least a 4-fold increase in hSBA titers from pre- to post-vaccination for participants with pre-vaccination hSBA titers \>=1:8.
Time frame: Day 30 (post-vaccination)
Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Antibodies Against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W Measured by hSBA Following Vaccination With Either MenACYW Conjugate Vaccine or MENVEO® Vaccine in Children 2 to 9 Years of Age
Antibody titers against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W were measured by hSBA.
Time frame: Day 30 (post-vaccination)
Geometric Mean Titers of Antibodies Against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W Measured by hSBA Following Vaccination With Either MenACYW Conjugate Vaccine or MENVEO® Vaccine in Children 2 to 5 Years of Age
Antibody titers against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W measured by hSBA.
Time frame: Day 30 (post-vaccination)
Geometric Mean Titers of Antibodies Against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W Measured by hSBA Following Vaccination With Either MenACYW Conjugate Vaccine or MENVEO® Vaccine in Children 6 to 9 Years of Age
Antibody titers against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W measured by hSBA.
Time frame: Day 30 (post-vaccination)
Percentage of Participants Achieving Vaccine Seroresponse Measured by hSBA Against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W Following Vaccination With Either MenACYW Conjugate Vaccine or MENVEO® Vaccine in Children 2 to 5 Years of Age
Antibody titers against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W were measured by hSBA. The hSBA vaccine seroresponse for serogroups A, C, Y, and W was defined as post-vaccination hSBA titers \>=1:16 for participants with pre-vaccination hSBA titers \<1:8 or at least a 4-fold increase in hSBA titers from pre- to post-vaccination for participants with pre-vaccination hSBA titers \>=1:8.
Time frame: Day 30 (post-vaccination)

The hSBA vaccine seroresponse for serogroups A, C, Y, and W was defined as post-vaccination hSBA titers \>=1:16 for participants with pre-vaccination hSBA titers \<1:8 or at least a 4-fold increase in hSBA titers from pre- to post-vaccination for participants with pre-vaccination hSBA titers \>=1:8.
