From Day 1 up to Day 360
Anti-respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Neutralizing Antibodies Titers	Serum neutralizing antibody titers were reported as the inverse of the serum dilution which yielded a 60% reduction in the number of viral plaques compared to virus control without serum (Estimated Dilution: ED60). Antibody titers were expressed as Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs).	At pre-vaccination (Day 0), post-Dose 1 (Day 30) and post-Dose 2 (Day 60)
Number of Subjects With Anti-RSV Neutralizing Antibodies Above the Cut-off Value	Pre-defined cut-off values was higher than or equal to (≥) 8 ED60.	At pre-vaccination (Day 0), post-Dose 1 (Day 30) and post-Dose 2 (Day 60)
Frequency of RSV Viral Protein F, N, M2-1 Specific Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) Secreting T-cells	Interferon-gamma specific T-cells, expressed as T-cells per (/) million cells, were determined by the Enzyme Linked ImmunoSpot (ELISpot) assay.	At pre-vaccination (Day 0) and post-Dose 1 (Day 7, Day 30) and post-Dose 2 (Day 37, Day 60)
Frequency of Anti-F Immunoglobulin g (IgG) and/or Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Antibody Secreting B-cells (ASC)	IgG/IgA antibody specific B-cells/ expressed as B-cells per million cells, were determined by the ELISpot assay.
