CI = confidence interval; N = number of participants included in each group; n = number of participants having at least one confirmed herpes zoster episode; RZV = adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine.

Censored at the first occurrence of a confirmed herpes zoster episode and at the occurrence of treatment for relapse.

p-value = Two-sided exact p-value conditional to number of cases.
