Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Number of Participants Having at Least One Confirmed Herpes Zoster (HZ) Case During the Total Duration of ZOSTER-049:EXT 006-022 Study, Overall
A suspected case of HZ is defined as a new unilateral rash accompanied by pain and no alternative diagnosis. A confirmed case of HZ was diagnosed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and/or by HZ Ascertainment Committee (HZAC) determination, as per the algorithm pre-specified in the protocol. As pre-specified in the protocol: * due to the high VE observed in ZOSTER-006/022 studies, recipients of placebo in both studies were offered cross-vaccination with HZ/su. Since there was no placebo group in this study, historic controls were used for VE assessment. Incidence rates estimations on Historical Control group were done by utilizing Poisson regression model using placebo data from ZOSTER-006/022 studies to obtain the coefficients by age ranges. * the participants in Control group were a subset of LTFU group that were randomized to serve as control for those who were vaccinated in this study, otherwise they were treated similarly as LTFU group, hence LTFU and Control groups were combined.
During the total duration of ZOSTER-049:EXT 006-022 study (From Month 0 to Month 72)

Study Arms (4)
LTFU Group
NO INTERVENTIONParticipants who received at least 1 dose of the HZ/su vaccine in the ZOSTER-006/022 primary studies and no additional doses of the HZ/su vaccine in the current ZOSTER-049:EXT 006-022 study were followed up for long-term vaccine efficacy and safety.
1-Additional Dose Group
EXPERIMENTALParticipants who received 2 doses of the HZ/su vaccine in the ZOSTER-006/022 primary studies received 1 additional dose of the HZ/su vaccine at Month 0 in the current ZOSTER-049:EXT 006-022 study.
Revaccination Group
EXPERIMENTALParticipants who received 2 doses of the HZ/su vaccine in the ZOSTER-006/022 primary studies were revaccinated with 2 additional doses of the HZ/su vaccine at Month 0 and Month 2 in the current ZOSTER-049:EXT 006-022 study.
Control Group
NO INTERVENTIONParticipants who received 2 doses of the HZ/su vaccine in the ZOSTER-006/022 primary studies and no additional doses of the HZ/su vaccine in the current ZOSTER-049:EXT 006-022 study, but who served as a control for the 2 groups that received 1 or 2 additional doses (1-Additional Dose Group and Revaccination Group).

- Chronic administration (defined as ≥ 14 consecutive days in total) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs during the period starting six months prior to Visit Month 0 of study ZOSTER-049 or expected administration at any time during the study period. For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone ≥ 20 mg/day or equivalent. A prednisone dose of \< 20 mg/day is allowed. Inhaled, topical and intra-articular corticosteroids are allowed.

- Important underlying illness that in the opinion of the investigator would be expected to interfere significantly during the study.

- Administration or planned administration of any other immunizations within 30 days before the first study vaccination or scheduled within 30 days after study vaccination. However, licensed non-replicating vaccines (i.e., inactivated and subunit vaccines, including inactivated and subunit influenza vaccines for seasonal or pandemic flu, with or without adjuvant) may be administered up to 8 days prior to each dose and/or at least 14 days after any dose of study vaccine.
- History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine.
