An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. For marketed medicinal products, this also included failure to produce expected benefits (i.e. lack of efficacy), abuse or misuse. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination. Grade 3 AE = an AE which prevented normal, everyday activities. Related AE = AE assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.
