Percentage of Participants With Poliovirus Serotype 3 Neutralizing Antibodies (Nab) ≥1:8 Dilution30 days postvaccination (at ~12 months of age)Human antibodies to poliovirus serotype 3 were quantified with a neutralization assay by utilizing Vero cells and wild type poliovirus strain 3 as the challenge virus. The Karber method was used to determine the serum dilution that neutralized 50% of the challenge virus, with results expressed as titers (1:dilution), and the LLOQ was 1:4. dilution. The percentage of participants with poliovirus serotype 3 Nab ≥1:8 dilution one month after Vaxelis™ as the 3rd dose of a vaccination series is presented. The 95% CIs are based on the exact binomial method proposed by Clopper and Pearson.

Percentage of Participants With Pertactin (PRN) Vaccine Response

Human antibodies to PRN were quantified using the Meso Scale Discovery Electrochemiluminescence serological assay based on an established reference standard sample curve with a LLOQ for PRN of 2.00 EU/mL.The percentage of participants meeting response criteria for PRN was based on pre-vaccination level of PRN. The 95% CIs are based on the exact binomial method proposed by Clopper and Pearson.

Time frame: 30 days postvaccination (at ~12 months of age)

Population: All enrolled participants without deviations from the protocol that may substantially affect the results of the immunogenicity endpoint. Potential deviations include, but are not limited to failure to receive study vaccine at Visit 1 (Day 1); receipt of a prohibited medication or prohibited vaccine within the study window; or collection of blood sample at Visit 2 outside the prespecified window (Day 26 to Day 40).
