Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBs) Antibody Concentrations Above the Cut-off ValueOne month after the challenge dose of HBV vaccine

Anti-HBs antibody cut-off value assessed was 100 milli-international unit per milliliter (mIU/mL)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants Reporting Solicited General SymptomsDuring the 4-day follow-up period after the challenge dose of HBV vaccine.

Solicited general symptoms assessed include fatigue, fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, and headache
