Seroprotection rate = percentage of subjects with post-vaccination titer≥40; Seroconversion rate = percentage of subjects with either a pre-vaccination HI titer <1:10 and post-vaccination HI titer≥1:40 or a pre-vaccination HI titer≥1:10 and a minimum 4-fold increase in post-vaccination HI titer; “-”: Data not shown; a Mean antibody titers (x ± SD); b Percentage of subjects with post-vaccination titer≥1:50; c Percentage of subjects with post-vaccination titer>1:100; *P < .05;

Abbreviations: GMT = geometric mean titer; CI = confidence interval; HI = hemagglutination inhibition.
