Seroconversion was defined as a ≥4-fold rise in antibody titer compared to the day zero titer. Data are the number of responders, with the percentage and 95% CI provided in parentheses.
The geometric mean increase (with 95% CI in parentheses) reflects the increase in the GMT.
Seroprotection is the number of volunteers whose titer was ≥1:40 (with the percentage of responders and the 95% CI shown in parentheses).
