  8. The incidence and severity of adverse events

    Timeframe: Within 30 minutes after each vaccination

  9. The incidence and severity of adverse events

    Timeframe: Within 7 days after each vaccination

    Incidence and severity of adverse events within 7 days after each vaccination. The severity of solicited and unsolicited adverse events will be graded from grade 1 to grade 4, other adverse events will be graded from grade 1 to grade 5.

  10. The incidence and severity of adverse events

    Timeframe: Day 8 to 30 after each vaccination

    Incidence and severity of adverse events during Day 8 to 30 after each vaccination. The severity of solicited and unsolicited adverse events will be graded from grade 1 to grade 4, other adverse events will be graded from grade 1 to grade 5.

  11. The incidence and severity of adverse events

    Timeframe: Within 30 days after each vaccination

    Incidence and severity of adverse events within 30 days after each vaccination. The severity of solicited and unsolicited adverse events will be graded from grade 1 to grade 4, other adverse events will be graded from grade 1 to grade 5.

  1. The incidence of Serious Adverse Events

    Timeframe: From the first vaccination to 12 months after the last vaccination

    Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) from the first vaccination to 12 months after the last vaccination.

  2. Potential Immune-Mediated Diseases

    Timeframe: From the first vaccination to 12 months after the last vaccination

    Incidence of Potential Immune-Mediated Diseases (pIMDs) from the first vaccination to 12 months after the last vaccination.

  3. Geometric mean concentration (GMC) of anti-VZV antibody

    Timeframe: Month 1 after the last vaccination

    measured by ELISA.

  4. Seropositivity rate of anti-VZV antibody

    Timeframe: Month 1 after the last vaccination

    The seropositivity rate is defined as the percentage of seropositive subjects. A seronegative subject is a subject whose antibody concentration is below the cut-off value. A seropositive subject is a subject whose antibody concentration is greater than or equal to the cut-off value.

  5. Seroresponse rate of anti-VZV antibody

    Timeframe: Month 1 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-VZV antibody

    Timeframe: Month 1 after the last vaccination

    The antibody concentration at month 1 after the last vaccination compared with that at baseline (Day 0).

  7. Four-fold increase rate of anti-VZV antibody

    Timeframe: Month 1 after the last vaccination

    The antibody concentration at month 1 after the last vaccination compared with that at baseline (Day 0).

  8. Geometric mean concentration (GMC) of anti-gE antibody

    Timeframe: At 6, 12 and 24 months after the last vaccination

    measured by ELISA.

  9. Seropositivity rate of anti-gE antibody

    Timeframe: At 6, 12 and 24 months after the last vaccination

    The seropositivity rate is defined as the percentage of seropositive subjects. A seronegative subject is a subject whose antibody concentration is below the cut-off value. A seropositive subject is a subject whose antibody concentration is greater than or equal to the cut-off value.

  10. Geometric mean concentration (GMC) of anti-VZV antibody

    Timeframe: At 6, 12 and 24 months after the last vaccination

    measured by ELISA.

  11. Seropositivity rate of anti-VZV antibody

    Timeframe: At 6, 12 and 24 months after the last vaccination
