Before the first dose to 1 month after the fourth VLA15 dose
Sero-Response Rate Based on Anti-Outer Surface Protein A (OspA) Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Concentrations.
Before the first dose to 1 month after the fourth VLA15 dose
Percentage of Participants With Local Reactions For Each Group
Within 7 days after each vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Systemic Events For Each Group
Within 7 days after each vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) For Each Group
Within 1 month after each vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) For Each Group
From the time the participant provides informed consent up to approximately 6 months after the last vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Newly Diagnosed Chronic Medical Conditions (NDCMCs) For Each Group
From the time the participant provides informed consent up to approximately 6 months after the last vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Solicited Local and Solicited Systemic Adverse Events (AEs) Within 7 Days After Vaccination 1
From Day 1 to Day 7 after vaccination 1 at Month 0

Participants or their legal guardians were required to record any solicited local and systemic adverse events in the electronic diary. Solicited symptoms were pre-defined symptoms which were collected via an electronic diary. Solicited local AEs included pain, tenderness, erythema (redness), swelling and induration (hardening). Solicited systemic AEs included headache, muscle pain, joint pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and fever. Two-sided 95% confidence intervals were calculated according to Altman method.

Percentage of Participants With Solicited Local and Solicited Systemic AEs Within 7 Days After Vaccination 2
From Day 1 to Day 7 after vaccination 2 at Month 2

Participants or their legal guardians were required to record any solicited local and systemic adverse events in the electronic diary. Solicited symptoms were pre-defined symptoms which were collected via an electronic diary. Solicited local AEs included pain, tenderness, erythema (redness), swelling and induration (hardening). Solicited systemic AEs included headache, muscle pain, joint pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and fever. Two-sided 95% confidence intervals were calculated according to Altman method.

Percentage of Participants With Solicited Local and Solicited Systemic AEs Within 7 Days After Vaccination 3
From Day 1 to Day 7 after vaccination 3 at Month 6

Participants or their legal guardians were required to record any solicited local and systemic adverse events in the electronic diary. Solicited symptoms were pre-defined symptoms which were collected via an electronic diary. Solicited local AEs included pain, tenderness, erythema (redness), swelling and induration (hardening). Solicited systemic AEs included headache, muscle pain, joint pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and fever. Two-sided 95% confidence intervals were calculated according to Altman method.

Percentage of Participants With Solicited Local and Solicited Systemic AEs Within 7 Days After Any Vaccination During the Main Study Phase
From Day 1 to Day 7 after vaccination 1, 2 or 3 at Month 0, 2 and 6 respectively

Participants or their legal guardians were required to record any solicited local and systemic adverse events in the electronic diary. Solicited symptoms were pre-defined symptoms which were collected via an electronic diary. Solicited local AEs included pain, tenderness, erythema (redness), swelling and induration (hardening). Solicited systemic AEs included headache, muscle pain, joint pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and fever. Two-sided 95% confidence intervals were calculated according to Altman method.

Day 208 (Month 7)

GMTs for IgG against each OspA serotype ST1 to ST6, determined by an IgG binding assay at Day 208 is presented in this outcome measure.

GMTs for IgG Against Each OspA Serotype
Day 208 (Month 7)

Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for Immunoglobulin G (IgG) against each Outer Surface Protein A (OspA) serotype ST1 to ST6, determined by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) at Day 208 (Month 7)

GMTs (Geometric Mean Titers) for IgG (Immunoglobulin G) Against Each OspA (Outer Surface Protein A) Serotype ST1 to ST6
at Day 85 / Month 3

GMTs (Geometric Mean Titers) for IgG (Immunoglobulin G) against each OspA (Outer Surface Protein A) serotype ST1 to ST6, determined by ELISA at Day 85. GMTs are calculated based on the number of subjects with non-missing results.
