Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) Antibody

    VZV antibody titers were determined by glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA)

    Day 1 and Week 6 postvaccination

  • Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) in VZV Antibody Titers

    VZV antibody titers were determined by gpELISA. The GMFR reports the geometric mean of the ratio of individual participant VZV antibody titers at Week 6 / Day 1 (Baseline).

    Day 1 (Baseline) to Week 6 postvaccination

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of Participants With One or More Adverse Experiences (AEs)

    Day 1 to Day 42 postvaccination

  • Number of Participants With One or More Serious Adverse Experience (SAE) Day 1 to 42 Postvaccination

    Day 1 to Day 42 postvaccination

  • Number of Participants With One or More Serious Adverse Experience Day 1 to 182 Postvaccination

    Day 1 to Day 182 postvaccination
