Any = Any reports of the specified symptom irrespective of intensity grade and relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 symptom: symptom that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 loss of appetite = not eating at all, grade 3 fever = axillary temperature \> 39.0°C, grade 3 vomiting = ≥ 3 episodes of vomiting/day and grade 3 diarrhea = ≥ 6 looser than normal stools/day. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the vaccination regardless of intensity grade. |

Any was defined as an adverse event (AE) reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study. Any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms was reported as an unsolicited adverse event. |
| Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAE) | Throughout the study period (Day 0 to one month post-Dose 2). | Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that resulted in death, were life threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, resulted in disability/incapacity or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. |
