Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Local Reactions Within 7 Days After Dose 3Within 7 days after Dose 3

Local reactions were collected by participant or legally acceptable representative/parent/legal guardian using an e-diary. Local reactions included redness, swelling and pain at the injection site. Redness and swelling were measured using measuring device units. 1 measuring device unit =0.5 cm. Redness and swelling were graded as: for participants \>=12 years of age, mild (\> 2.0 to 5.0 cm), moderate (\>5.0 to 10.0 cm) and severe (\>10.0 cm); for participants \<12 years of age, mild (\>0 to 2.0 cm), moderate (\>2.0 to 7.0 cm) and severe (\>7.0 cm). Pain at the injection site was graded as: for participants \>2 years of age, mild (does not interfere with activity), moderate (interferes with activity) and severe (prevents daily activity); for participants \<=2 years of age, mild (hurts if gently touched) moderate (hurts if gently touched with crying) and severe (causes limitation of limb movement). Exact 2-sided 95% CI based on the Clopper and Pearson method was presented.
