What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants With Solicited Symptoms	Solicited symptoms: tenderness or soreness at site of injection, pain at site of injection, fatigue or tiredness, headache, generalized muscle aches, swelling at the site of injection, redness at the site of injection, fever greater than or equal to (>=) 100.4 degrees F by any route from Day 1 to Day 7.	Day 1 to Day 7
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)	An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received investigational product. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between administration of study product and Day 361 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state.	From Day 1 to Day 28
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events of Special Interest (TEAESIs), Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs) and Treatment-Emergent New Onset Chronic Disease (NOCDs)	An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received investigational product. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between administration of study product and Day 361 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. An AESI was one of scientific and medical interest specific to understanding of study product and may have required close monitoring and rapid communication by investigator to the sponsor. A NOCD was a newly diagnosed medical condition that is of a chronic, ongoing nature. It was observed after receiving investigational product and was assessed by investigator as medically significant.	From Day 1 to Day 361
