To meet the Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products (CPMP) guidelines each of the vaccine antigens must meet at least one of the following criteria: seroprotection rate exceeding 70%, seroconversion rate exceeding 40%, and seroconversion factor exceeding 2.5. a Seroprotection rate: the percentage of vaccine recipients with a serum HI titres of at least 1:40 after vaccination. bSeroconversion rate: the percentage of vaccine recipients with an increase in serum HI titres by at least a factor of 4 after vaccination. c Seroconversion fator: the fold increase in serum geometric mean HI titres after vaccination.
