Notes: N = total number of participants. High score represents high level of functioning/quality of life. Reactogenicity grading: 0 (none/normal); 1 (mild); 2 (moderate); 3 (severe; prevents normal activity); for swelling/redness: greatest surface diameter 0 (<20 mm); 1 (≥20 to ≤50 mm); 2 (>50 to ≤100 mm); 3 (>100 mm); for temperature: 0 (<37.5°C); 1 (37.5–38.0°C); 2 (38.1–39.0°C); 3 (>39.0°C). Participants characterized according to maximum reactogenicity grade or symptom type reported within 7 days post-first vaccination (none = participants with no solicited symptom reported; local = participants with at least one solicited local symptom reported; systemic = participants with at least one solicited general symptom reported; participants can be included in both local and systemic categories).
