## Outcomes

### Primary outcomes

1. Incidence of confirmed Herpes Zoster(HZ) Cases per person years in subjects aged 40 years and older  
Timeframe: 30 days after the last vaccination  
A suspected case of HZ was confirmed either: by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or by the Endpoint Adjudication Committee (EAC), consisting of physicians with HZ expertise.

### Secondary outcomes

1. Incidence of confirmed Herpes Zoster(HZ) Cases per person years in different age group.  
Timeframe: 30 days after the last vaccination  
All subjects will be stratified into 40-49 years, 50-59 years, 60-69 years and ≥70 years of age.
2. Incidence of any and severe Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN) cases per person years in subjects aged 40 years and older, 40-49years , 50-59 years , 60-69 years and ≥70 years , with confirmed HZ.  
Timeframe: 30 days after the last vaccination  
PHN of any severity was defined as 0 and greater on the Zoster Brief Pain Inventory(ZBPI) questionnaire, while severe PHN rated as 3 and greater on the ZBPI questionnaire.
3. Geometric Mean Concentration(GMC) of anti-gE antibody and anti-VZV antibody in immunogenicity subset  
Timeframe: At 1, 12, 24 and 36 months after the last vaccination  
Measured by ELISA
4. Seropositivity rate of anti-gE antibody and anti-VZV antibody in immunogenicity subset  
Timeframe: At 1, 12, 24 and 36 months after the last vaccination  
The seropositivity rate is defined as the percentage of subjects whose antibody concentration is greater than or equal to the cut-off value.
5. Seroresponse rate of anti-gE antibody and anti-VZV antibody in immunogenicity subset  
Timeframe: 30 days after the last vaccination  
The seroresponse rate is defined as the percentage of subjects who have at least a: 4-fold increase in the antibody concentration as compared to the pre vaccination antibody concentration, for subjects who are seropositive at baseline, OR, 4-fold increase in the antibody concentration as compared to the antibody concentration cut-off value for seropositivity, for subjects who are seronegative at baseline.
6. Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) of anti-gE antibody and anti-VZV antibody in immunogenicity subset  
Timeframe: At 1, 12, 24 and 36 months after the last vaccination  
The antibody concentration at evaluted time points compared with that at baseline.
7. Four-fold increase rate of anti-gE antibody and anti-VZV antibody in immunogenicity subset  
Timeframe: 30 days after the last vaccination  
The antibody concentration 30 days after the last vaccination compared with that at baseline.
8. Cell-Mediated Immunity (CMI) response  
Timeframe: 30 days after the last vaccination  
CMI response is defined as the frequency of CD4+ T cells producing at least 2 activation markers (IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α and/or CD40L) upon in vitro stimulation by gE peptide pools.
9. Vaccine Response Rate (VRR)  
Timeframe: 30 days after the last vaccination  
VRR is defined as the percentage of subjects with at least a 2-fold increase as compared to the Cut-off, for subjects with pre-vaccination T-cell frequencies\\<Cut-off, OR, at least a 2-fold increase as compared to pre-vaccination T-cell frequencies for subjects with pre-vaccination T-cell frequencies ≥Cut-off.
10. Number of Participants With solicited local symptoms  
Timeframe: Within 7 days after each vaccination  
Assessed solicited local symptoms were pain, Induration, swelling, redness, pruritus, rash, and cellulitis.
11. Number of Participants With solicited general symptoms.  
Timeframe: Within 7 days after each dose  
Assessed solicited general symptoms were fever \\\[defined as axillary equal to or above 37.3 degrees Celsius (°C)\\\], diarrhoea, anorexia, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, myalgia, arthralgia, headache, syncope, new convulsions, cough, pruritus (non-vaccination site), skin and mucous membrane abnormalities, acute allergic reactions, fatigue, pain (non-vaccination site), chills.
12. Number of Participants With unsolicited adverse events  
Timeframe: During 30 days after each vaccination  
An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms.
13. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events  
Timeframe: From the day of first vaccination up to 12 months after last vaccination  
Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.
14. Number of Participants With potential Immune Mediated Disorders  
Timeframe: From the day of first vaccination up to 12 months after last vaccination  
pIMDs are a subset of Adverse Events of Specific Interest (AESIs) that include autoimmune diseases and other inflammatory and/or neurologic disorders of interest which may or may not have an autoimmune aetiology.
