Solicited AEs were based on participant-completed diary cards and were reported on the day of injection (post-injection) and for the following seven days.

aSame Leiden MVS batch as used in phase 1/2 studies.

AE: adverse event; MVS: master virus seed; N: number of participants with data at that time point; n (%): number (percentage) of participants with one or more events, where the denominator is the number of participants with available reactogenicity data after the given dose; WVS: working virus seed.
