Response was defined as a log10 titer that was increased by a factor of 4 or more from the baseline value among participants without an elevated antibody level at baseline. The P values for group comparisons of the geometric mean titer were based on the log10 titer values at the specified visit, with the baseline log10 titer as a covariate in analysis of covariance. The P values for the group comparisons of the percentage of participants with a response were based on Fisher’s exact test. CI denotes confidence interval.
