- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Subjects With Vaccine Response for Anti-rubella Antibodies in HAV+MMR+V and MMR+V→HAV Groups 42 days following administration of M-M-R®II and VARIVAX® Vaccine response is defined as the appearance of antibodies with titers greater than or equal to the predefined cut-off value in the serum of subject seronegative before vaccination. Cut-off value assessed include 10 milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL).
Number of Subjects Seroconverted for Anti-measle, Anti-mumps and Anti-varicella Antibodies in HAV+MMR+V and MMR+V→HAV Groups 42 days following the administration of M-M-R®II and VARIVAX® Seroconversion is defined as the appearance of antibodies with titers greater than or equal to the predefined cut-off value in the serum of subject seronegative before vaccination.
