The 2 participants (1 adult and 1 child) in Test group and 1 adult in Comparator group who did not have immunogenicity endpoint at Visit 3 were excluded from the analysis.

§

The p-value has been derived using Equivalence test with margin [−15%, +15%]. The equivalence test was conducted by performing two separate tests at 2.5% significance level: (1) for lower bound, Difference <−15% versus Difference ≥−15%, and (2) for upper bound, Difference >+15% versus Difference ≤+15%. The overall p-value which is the higher of the two p-values of those tests was presented. If p-value <0.025, the two vaccine groups are equivalent.

Adjusted for study sites in the model and additionally age strata in all ages combined, and in children cohort when analyzed separately.
