N, total number of subjects in A/B only, with at least one administered dose; n (%), number (percentage) of subjects reporting the symptoms at least once. There were two preferred terms with p values for the Breslow and Day test that were significant, indicating a difference in relative reporting patterns between the different countries: application site hematoma (reported by 0.1% in the HibMenCY group and 0.3% in the Hib group, p = 0.03) and cough (p = 0.01), p values < 0.05 are highlighted in bold. *p < 0.05.
