Statistic is presented either as immunogenicity full analysis set (FAS) or per-protocol set (PPS); n = number of subjects; GM = geometric mean; CI = confidence interval of geometric mean; For additional information on PPS, refer to Text S1. p values are based on analysis within treatment group (Signed Rank), and between treatment groups (Wilcoxon Rank Sums).
