Exclusion Criteria
  • Received any measles, mumps, rubella, or varicella vaccine, either alone or in any combination at any time prior to the study, or is anticipated to receive any of these vaccines outside of study protocol, either alone or in any combination, during the study

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Measles-like RashUp to 42 days after each vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Fever (>=102.2°F [39.0°C] or Oral Equivalent)Up to 42 days after each vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Varicella-like RashUp to 42 days after each vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Mumps-like SymptomsUp to 42 days after each vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Zoster-like RashUp to 42 days after each vaccination
Percentage of Participants With an Injection-site Adverse EventUp to 5 days after each vaccination

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine is also an AE. Injection-site AEs reported were solicited with a Vaccine Report Card.
