Vaccine response defined as: for initially seronegative subjects, antibody concentration ≥ 5 EL.U/mL at 1 month post primary vaccination (Month 3); for initially seropositive subjects, antibody concentration at 1 month post primary vaccination (Month 3) ≥ 1 fold the pre-vaccination antibody concentration.	At Month 3
Number of Subjects Reporting Any Solicited General Symptoms.	Solicited local symptoms assessed were drowsiness, irritability, loss of appetite and fever [axillary temperature above (≥) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)]. Any = occurrence of any local symptom regardless of intensity grade.	During the 8-day (Days 0-7)
