A suspected case of HZ was defined as (1) a new rash characteristic of HZ (e.g., unilateral, dermatomal and accompanied by pain broadly defined to include allodynia, pruritus or other sensations), or a vesicular rash suggestive of VZV infection regardless of the distribution, and no alternative diagnosis; or (2) a clinical presentation (symptoms and/or signs) and specific laboratory findings\* suggestive of VZV infection in the absence of characteristic HZ or VZV rash. A suspected case of HZ was confirmed either: by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or by the HZ Ascertainment Committee (HZAC), consisting of physicians with HZ expertise.

Assessment method [4] 0 0
Anti-gE antibody concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), presented as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and expressed in milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL). The seropositivity cut-off value was greater than or equal to (=) 97 mIU/mL.

Secondary outcome [5] 0 0
Number of Subjects With Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms
Assessment method [5] 0 0
Assessed solicited local symptoms were pain, redness and swelling. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain = pain that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond 100 millimeters (mm) of injection site.
Timepoint [5] 0 0

Secondary outcome [6] 0 0
Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms
Assessment method [6] 0 0
Assessed solicited general symptoms were fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms, headache, myalgia, shivering and fever \[defined as axillary/tympanic temperature equal to or above 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C) or rectal temperature equal to or above 38.0 °C\]. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 symptom = symptom that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = fever \> 39.5 °C. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.
Timepoint [6] 0 0
During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period following each dose and across doses
Secondary outcome [7] 0 0
Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)
Assessment method [7] 0 0
An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. 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 assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.
Timepoint [7] 0 0
During the 30-day (Days 0-29) post-vaccination period
