What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Subjects Reporting Grade 2 or 3 Symptoms (Fever, Vomiting or Diarrhoea)

    Grade 2 fever was defined as axillary temperature above 38.0 degrees Celsius (°C) and below or equal to 39.0°C. Grade 3 fever was defined as axillary temperature above 39.0°C. Grade 2 vomiting was defined as 2 episodes of vomiting per day. Grade 3 vomiting was defined as at least 3 episodes of vomiting per day. Grade 2 diarrhoea was defined as 4-5 looser than normal stools per day. Grade 3 diarrhoea was defined as at least 6 looser than normal stools per day.

    Time frame: During the 8-day (Day 0 - Day 7) follow-up period after each vaccination.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited General Symptoms

    Cough: Cough/runny nose of any intensity Diarrhoea: Passage of three or more looser than normal stools within a day Irritability: Cried more than usual Loss of appetite: Ate less than usual Temperature: Axillary temperature greater than or equal to 37.5°C Vomiting: One or more episodes of forceful emptying of partially digested stomach contents ≥ 1 hour after feeding within a day

    Time frame: During the 8-day (Day 0 - Day 7) follow-up period after each vaccination

  2. Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    Unsolicited AE covers any AE 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.

    Time frame: During the 31-day (Day 0 - Day 30) follow-up period after each vaccination

  3. Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.

    Time frame: Throughout the study period (from Day 0 up to Day 30)
