Analysis based on baseline SARS-CoV-2 seronegative per-protocol vaccine recipients. Median (interquartile range) days from vaccination to D29 was 29 (2) for all regions pooled, 29 (2) for the United States, 29 (3) for Latin America, and 29 (2) for South Africa.

BAU antibody binding units, CI confidence interval, GM geometric mean, IU international units, nAb-ID50 50% inhibitory dilution neutralizing antibody, Pos Resp Freq positive response frequency, RBD receptor binding domain, Resp Freq Diff response frequency difference.

For the binding antibody assays, positive response was defined by having an IgG concentration above the specified positivity cut-off, with a separate cut-off for each antigen (10.8424 BAU/ml for Spike and 14.0858 BAU/ml for RBD; Table S10). Positive response for nAb-ID50 was defined by a D1 nAb-ID50 titer <LLOQ (LLOQ = 4.8975 IU50/ml) with quantifiable D29 nAb-ID50 ( ≥ LLOQ), or by D1 nAb-ID50 > LLOQ with at least a fourfold increase in D29 nAb-ID50.
