Geometric Mean antiHAV and antiHBV Concentrations (GMCs), 28 Days After Primary and Booster Vaccination

Assessment was made to demonstrate the non-inferiority of hepatitis A/B vaccine with MenACWY-CRM as compared to hepatitis A/B vaccine without MenACWY-CRM, as measured by geometric mean concentrations on day 57 in previously unvaccinated subjects or on day 29 after a booster dose in previously vaccinated subjects.

Time frame: Day 57 (previously unprimed subjects) day 29 (previously primed subjects) postvaccination.

Population: Analysis was done on Per Protocol (PP) population who provided evaluable serum samples and whose assay results were available at the relevant time points, and had no major protocol deviations
