a Values (%) based on number of infants experiencing an event/total number of infants receiving at least one injection (N). b Fever defined as body temperature ≥ 38.0°C. n = total number of infants receiving at least one injection (i.e., safety population). All local adverse events were considered vaccination-related; values for systemic adverse events represent all solicited adverse events reported, regardless of whether or not they were considered vaccination-related
