Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) Seroconversion Rate, i.e. the Percentage of Subjects Who Were Seronegative at Baseline and Developed Seropositive at Month 7 After Administration of a 2-dose Regime of Vaccines.
Collect blood sample for HAV antibody testing at Day 0 prior to vaccination, and Month 7 (4 weeks after administration of a 2-dose regimen of vaccines at Month 6)

Seroconversion rate = (number of subjects with seronegative at baseline and developed seropositive at Month 7)/(number of subjects with seronegative at baseline regardless HAV serum status at Month 7). Measure serum HAV (hepatitis A virus) antibody at Day 0 prior to vaccination and at Month 7 after administration of a 2-dose regimen of vaccines. HAV antibody titers were determined by Wantai ELISA kit for serum antibody response to HAV. Seropositive was defined as HAV antibody titer ≥ 50 mIU/mL. Seronegative was defined as HAV antibody titer \< 50 mIU/mL.

Secondary Endpoints

Serious Adverse Experiences and Systemic Adverse Experiences Occurring Within 14 Days After Each Vaccination, and Injection-site Complaints Occurring Day 1 Through Day 5 After Each Vaccination
For serious adverse experiences and systemic adverse experiences: 14 days follow-up after each dose of vaccination; For injection-site adverse experiences: 5 days follow-up after each dose of vaccination
