PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: One month after the second vaccine dose

Population: Analysis was performed on the According-to-Protocol (ATP) cohort for immunogenicity, on subjects with available results.

Seroconversion is defined as the appearance of antibodies with concentrations greater than or equal to 20 units per milliliter (U/mL) in the serum of subjects seronegative before vaccination.
