MGI is defined as the geometric mean of the within participant ratios of the post-vaccination reciprocal HI titer to the pre-vaccination reciprocal HI titer. The 4 influenza strains assessed were A/H1N1 strain, A/H3N2 strain, B/Victoria lineage and B/Yamagata lineage.

A participant seroconverted for anti-HI antibodies against the 4 influenza strains is defined as a participant having either a pre-vaccination HI titer < 1:10 and a post-vaccination HI titer ≥ 1:40, or a pre-vaccination HI titer ≥ 1:10 and at least a 4 fold greater post-vaccination HI titer.

The assessed solicited local AEs included axillary (underarm) swelling or tenderness, pain, pruritus, redness and swelling. Axillary swelling or tenderness was solicited for all participants and not restricted to mRNA-1273 recipients as was originally planned per protocol. Pruritus was solicited for all participants and not restricted to HZ/su recipients as was originally planned per protocol.

Axillary swelling or tenderness was solicited for all participants and not restricted to mRNA-1273 recipients as was originally planned per protocol. Pruritus was solicited for all participants and not restricted to HZ/su recipients as was originally planned per protocol.

The assessed solicited systemic AEs included abdominal pain, arthralgia, chills, diarrhea, fatigue, fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, headache, myalgia, nausea and vomiting. Fever is defined as temperature ≥ 38.0 degrees Celsius (°C)/100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) by any route. The preferred location for measuring temperature was the oral route.
