    Time frame: Throughout the study period (Day 1 to Day 335)

SAEs assessed included medical occurrences that result in death, are life-threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity. Possibly or probably related SAE were SAEs assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination. Medically attended AEs were events for which the subject received medical attention defined as hospitalization, an emergency room visit, or a visit to or from medical personnel (medical doctor) for any reason.
