About this trial
This study is a randomized, blinded, active-controlled phase I clinical trial to evaluate the safety and preliminary immunogenicity of the Diphtheria-Tetanus-acellular Pertussis Component Combined Vaccine (DTacP) in subjects (aged 2 months to 6 years). Primary safety endpoints are the occurrence of solicited adverse events within 30 minutes after each dose, the occurrence of solicited adverse events within 7 days after each dose, the occurrence of unsolicited adverse events within 30 days after each dose, and the occurrence of adverse events 30 days after immunization. The secondary safety endpoint is the occurrence of serious adverse events (SAEs) within 12 months after immunization. Secondary immunogenicity endpoints are the geometric mean concentration (GMC), geometric mean fold increase (GMFI), seropositive rates, seroconversion rates, or 4-fold increase rates of anti-DT, anti-TT, anti-PT, anti-FHA, and anti-PRN antibodies 30 days after immunization. The exploratory endpoints are the GMC, GMFI, seropositive rates, seroconversion rates, or 4-fold increase rates of anti-DT, anti-PT, and anti-FHA neutralizing antibodies 30 days after immunization in all groups, the GMC and seropositive rates of anti-DT, anti-TT, anti-PT, anti-FHA, and anti-PRN antibodies 12 months after primary immunization in the infant group, the seropositive rates and geometric mean tie (GMT) of anti- type I, type II, type III poliovirus neutralizing antibodies 30 days after immunization in all groups, the seropositive rates and geometric mean tie (GMT) of anti- type I, type II, type III poliovirus neutralizing antibodies 12 months after primary immunization in the infant group.

Disqualifiers
Previous Diagnosis: Subjects diagnosed with pertussis, tetanus, or diphtheria disease.
Special Conditions for Toddlers (aged 18-24 months) and Infants (aged 2-3 months): Subjects have been with abnormal labor (dystocia, instrumental delivery) or a history of asphyxia, nervous system damage, or clinically confirmed pathological jaundice.

Occurrence of serious adverse events after vaccination
Immunogenicity index-seroconversion or ≥4-fold increase rates of antibody against DT
Antibody assay will be performed using the ELISA method. Seroconversion will be defined as a change from seronegative (Antibody Concentration\<0.1 IU/ml) to seropositive (Antibody Concentration≥0.1 IU/ml), or a ≥4-fold increase from baseline.
Immunogenicity index-seroconversion or ≥4-fold increase rates of antibody against TT
Antibody assay will be performed using the ELISA method. Seroconversion will be defined as a change from seronegative (Antibody Concentration\<0.1 IU/ml) to seropositive (Antibody Concentration≥0.1 IU/ml), or a ≥4-fold increase from baseline.
Immunogenicity index-seroconversion or ≥4-fold increase rates of antibody against PT
Antibody assay will be performed using the ELISA method. Seroconversion will be defined as a change from seronegative (Antibody Concentration\<20 IU/ml) to seropositive (Antibody Concentration≥20 IU/ml), or a ≥4-fold increase from baseline.
Other outcomes
