precautions for two months after completion of the vaccination series.

Exclusion criteria:

- Use of any investigational or non-registered drug or vaccine other than the study
vaccine during the study period.

- Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other
immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the first vaccine dose. (For
corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone, or equivalent, greater than or equal to
0.5 mg/kg/day. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.)

- Planned administration/ administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study
protocol within 30 days of the first dose of vaccine.

- Previous vaccination against hepatitis B

- History of hepatitis B infection

- Known exposure to hepatitis B within the previous 6 weeks

human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

- A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.

- History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of
the vaccine(s).

- 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, mild upper respiratory infection
with or without low-grade febrile illness, i.e. Oral temperature < 37.5°C (99.5°F) /
Axillary temperature <37.5°C (99.5°F).

- Acute or chronic, clinically significant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic or renal
functional abnormality, as determined by physical examination or laboratory screening
tests.
