To complement the analysis of persistence, a thorough description of NT waning from year 1 after the first booster dose up to 15 years will be presented for the set of subjects completing the entire 15-year follow-up with no protocol deviations, including those receiving a second booster dose; for whom, a constant value of NT = 1 from the post booster visit will be used in the analysis.

  4. Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs). [At 1 month after vaccination. Based on the timing of the booster dose, at years 11.5 (Visit 23.1), 12.5 (Visit 24.1), 13.5 (Visit 25.1), or 14.5 (Visit 26.1) or from year 15.5 (Visit 27.1) until 21 days after year 15.5 (Visit 27.2)]

    The safety endpoint for subjects who will need a second booster vaccination will be based on SAEs collection after the second booster dose. SAEs are defined as any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life- threatening, requires hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation, results in disability/incapacity or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.
