Exclusion Criteria: * History of any reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the study interventions including hypersensitivity to neomycin or gelatin. * Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history and physical examination (no laboratory testing required). * Hypersensitivity to latex. * Major congenital defects, as assessed by the investigator. * Recurrent history of uncontrolled neurological disorders or seizures. * History of measles, mumps, rubella, or varicella disease. * Active untreated tuberculosis. * Participants with bleeding disorders (e.g., thrombocytopenia or any coagulation disorder). * Condition that in the judgment of the investigator would make intramuscular injection unsafe. * Any other clinical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might pose additional risk to the participant due to participation in the study. Prior/Concomitant therapy * Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug, vaccine or invasive medical device) other than the study interventions during the period beginning 30 days before the dose of study interventions administration (Day -29 to Day 1), or their planned use during the study period. * Chronic administration of immune-modifying drugs (defined as more than 14 consecutive days in total) and/or planned use of long-acting immune modifying treatments at any time up to the end of the study. \- Up to 90 days prior to the study intervention administration: * For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone equivalent \>=0.5 mg/kg/day with maximum of 20 mg/day for pediatric participants. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed. * Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products or plasma derivatives. \- Up to 180 days prior to study interventions administration: long acting immune-modifying drugs including among others immunotherapy (e.g., tumor necrosis factor-inhibitors), monoclonal antibodies (except the ones not interfering with the immune response to the study vaccines, e.g., nirsevimab), antitumoral medication. * Previous vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella. * Previous vaccination against varicella virus. * Previous vaccination against hepatitis A virus. * Only for children in countries where PCV is recommended at 12 to 15 months of age as per national immunization schedule and provided as part of the study interventions, participant who previously received a booster dose of any PCV.
