What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Subjects With Severe (Grade 3) Unsolicited Adverse Events

    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Grade 3 AE = an AE which prevented normal, everyday activities.

    Time frame: During the 31-day (Days 0-30) post-vaccination period

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Subjects With Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Adverse Events

    Assessed solicited local symptoms were pain, redness and swelling. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain = pain that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond 30 millimeters (mm) of injection site (Mencevax ACWY 2-5 YOA Group) and beyond 50 millimeters (mm) of injection site (Mencevax ACWY 6-17 YOA Group and Mencevax ACWY ≥ 18 YOA Group).

    Time frame: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period

  2. Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were drowsiness, fever \[defined as axillary temperature equal to or above (≥) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)\], irritability and loss of appetite. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 drowsiness = drowsiness that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = fever \> 39.0 °C. Grade 3 irritability = crying that could not be comforted/prevented normal activity. Grade 3 loss of appetite = not eating at all. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Time frame: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period

  3. Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were fatigue, fever \[defined as axillary temperature equal to or above (≥) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)\], gastrointestinal symptoms and headache. Any = occurrence of the symptom reported irrespective of intensity grade and causal relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 symptom = symptom that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = fever \> 39.0 °C. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Time frame: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period

  4. Number of Subjects With Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.

    Time frame: During the 31-day (Days 0-30) post-vaccination period

  5. Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life-threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity.

    Time frame: During the entire study period (from Day 0 to Month 1)
