Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Participants With Solicited Local and Systemic Reactogenicity Adverse Reaction (ARs)-First Vaccination	Solicited ARs (local and systemic) were collected in the daily diary. Local ARs included: injection site pain, injection site erythema, and injection site induration/swelling. Systemic ARs included: body temperature (oral), generalized myalgia (muscle ache or pain), generalized arthralgia (joint ache or pain), headache, fatigue/malaise (unusual tiredness), nausea/vomiting, chills, and rash. Data for this outcome measure is reported up to 7 days after the first study vaccination only. A summary of all serious adverse events (SAEs) and all nonserious AEs ("Other"), regardless of causality, is in Reported "Adverse Events" section.	Up to Day 7 after first vaccination (up to 8 days)
Primary	Number of Participants With Solicited Local and Systemic Reactogenicity Adverse Reaction (ARs)-Second Vaccination	Solicited ARs (local and systemic) were collected in the daily diary. Local ARs included: injection site pain, injection site erythema, and injection site induration/swelling. Systemic ARs included: body temperature (oral), generalized myalgia (muscle ache or pain), generalized arthralgia (joint ache or pain), headache, fatigue/malaise (unusual tiredness), nausea/vomiting, chills, and rash. Data for this outcome measure is reported up to 7 days after the second study vaccination only. A summary of all serious adverse events (SAEs) and all nonserious AEs ("Other"), regardless of causality, is in Reported "Adverse Events" section.	Up to Day 7 after second vaccination (Day 29 to Day 36)
Primary	Number of Participants With Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)	An unsolicited AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was as any AE not present before exposure to vaccine or any AE already present that worsened in intensity or frequency after exposure. A summary of all SAEs and all nonserious AEs ("Other"), regardless of causality, is located in the Reported "Adverse Events" section.	Day 1 to the end of study visit (up to Day 392)
Primary	Number of Participants With Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESI) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)	An SAE was defined as any AE that resulted in death, is life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was an important medical event. AESIs included potentially immune-mediated medical conditions (autoimmune or autoinflammatory diseases) that may have the theoretical potential for association with novel vaccines. A summary of all SAEs and all nonserious AEs ("Other"), regardless of causality, is located in the Reported "Adverse Events" section.	Day 1 to the end of study visit (up to Day 392)

Secondary	Number of Initially Seropositive Participants With a 2-fold or 4-fold Increase in Neutralizing Antibody Titers as Compared With Baseline as Measured by Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test	Seroconversion is defined as a change of Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test from below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) to a PRNT equal to or above LLOQ for the assay, or a multiplication by at least 4 in participants with pre-existing PRNT titers.
