      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Randomization description: Allocation of infants to intervention groups is done by stratified randomization by www.sealedenvelope.com. The strata in this study are the centers and, in each stratum, random numerical sequences will be created in the form of permuted blocks. For this purpose, random blocks with block size 2 and 4 (equal number of each group are present in each block) and with a ratio of 1:1 will be done for a total of 324 infants. When randomization is done, each infant will receive a unique code by which he will be identified throughout the study, Blinding description: Given that the control and test drug packages are completely identical and are identified using random codes, the parents of the participants will not be aware of the type of vaccine their child has received. Additionally, study data will be anonymized based on the unique identification codes assigned to each participant at the start of the study. This ensures that the study remains blinded for both the doctor and the evaluator. Similarly, the samples and laboratory results will be identified and reported only with the codes corresponding to each participant, without any names.</study_design>
