“Grade 3” was defined as diameter >100 mm for erythema and swelling, temperature >39.0°C for fever, preventing normal everyday activities for all other events; “related” indicates considered related to vaccine/placebo administration by investigator assessment.

Abbreviations: AE, adverse event; CI, confidence interval; n/%, number/percentage of participants reporting the event at least once (numbers between asterisks, eg, *10, * indicate that data by group are blinded to avoid participant-level unblinding of the study team; the number between the asterisks shows the total number across the 3 groups); N, number of participants in the indicated analysis population; placebo, group of participants who received placebo pre–season 1 and pre–season 2; RSV, respiratory syncytial virus; RSV_1dose, group of participants who received a single RSV prefusion F protein–based vaccine (RSVPreF3 OA) dose pre–season 1 and a placebo dose pre–season 2; RSV_revaccination, group of participants who received a first dose of RSVPreF3 OA pre–season 1 and a second RSVPreF3 OA dose (revaccination) pre–season 2.

aMost unsolicited adverse events in the RSV_revaccination group were reactogenicity events, primarily in participants who were not included in the reactogenicity-immunogenicity cohort and thus reported reactogenicity events as unsolicited AEs.

bRelated serious AEs and potential immune-mediated disease are detailed in the Supplementary Results.
