The aim of the study is to investigate the memory immune response and the yearly persistence of the immunity against Japanese Encephalitis (JE) after vaccination with Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (JE-CV) in participants previously vaccinated with JE-CV vaccine. Objectives: * To describe JE immune status before and after JE-CV vaccination in subjects previously vaccinated with JE-CV vaccine * To describe the immune status before and after JE-CV vaccination in JE-naïve control subjects. * To describe the safety (in terms of solicited and unsolicited adverse events) of a single dose of JE-CV vaccine up to 6 months after the last vaccination. * To describe all related serious adverse events (SAEs) and related deaths from 6 months to 5 years after vaccination in JE-CV-primed subjects.
Study participants who are previously immunized with JE-CV vaccine will receive a booster dose of the JE-CV vaccine and will be followed up for 5 years for immunogenicity. The control (JE-CV naïve) participants will receive either one dose of JE-CV vaccine or one dose of varicella vaccine. All participants will be monitored for safety for 6 month post-vaccination.

Percentage of Participants With JE Seroprotection Before and Following a Dose of Live Attenuated JE-CV
The presence of JE virus neutralizing antibodies was measured using a 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50). Seroprotection status for antibody levels against JE virus before (on Day 0) and after JE-CV vaccination (Day 7 and Day 28) was defined as neutralizing antibody titer ≥ 10 (1/dilution).
Time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 7 and Day 28 post-vaccination
Percentage of Participants With JE Seroconversion Following a Dose of Live Attenuated JE-CV Vaccine
The presence of JE virus neutralizing antibodies was measured using a PRNT50 assay. Seroconversion was defined as participants with a pre-vaccination titer \<10 (1/dilution) and post-vaccination titer ≥10 (1/dilution, or participants with pre vaccination titer ≥10 (1/dilution) and a ≥4-fold increase from pre- to post-vaccination.
Time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 7 and Day 28 post-vaccination
Summary of Geometric Mean Titers of JE Virus Antibodies Following a Dose of Live Attenuated JE-CV
The presence of JE virus neutralizing antibodies was measured using a PRNT50 assay.
Time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 7 and Day 28 post-vaccination
Summary of Geometric Mean Titer Ratios of JE Virus Antibodies Following a Dose of Live Attenuated JE-CV
The presence of JE virus neutralizing antibodies was measured using a PRNT50 assay.
Time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 7 and Day 28 post-vaccination
Summary of Serological Flavivirus Status at Baseline of Participants Vaccinated With a Dose of Live Attenuated JE-CV
The presence of JE virus neutralizing antibodies was measured using a PRNT50 assay. Flavivirus positive was defined as titers against JE virus ≥10 (1/dilution) or titers against at least 1 dengue serotype ≥10 (1/dilution). Flavivirus negative was defined as titers against JE virus \<10 (1/dilution) and titers against the 4 dengue serotypes \<10 (1/dilution).
Time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination)
Percentage of Participants With JE Seroprotection Before and Up to 5 Years Following a Booster Dose of Live Attenuated JE-CV
The presence of JE virus neutralizing antibodies was measured using a PRNT50 assay. Seroprotection status for antibody levels against JE virus before (on Day 0) and after JE-CV vaccination (Days 7 and 28 and Years 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) was defined as neutralizing antibody titer ≥ 10 (1/dilution).
Time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Days 7 and 28, and Year 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 post-vaccination
Summary of Geometric Mean Titer of JE Virus Antibodies Before and Up to 5 Years Following a Booster Dose of Live Attenuated JE-CV
The presence of JE virus neutralizing antibodies was measured using a PRNT50 assay.
Time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Days 7 and 28 and Year 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 post-vaccination
Summary of Geometric Mean Titer Ratios of JE Virus Antibodies Up to 5 Years Following a Booster Dose of Live Attenuated JE-CV
The presence of JE virus neutralizing antibodies was measured using a PRNT50 assay.
Time frame: Year 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 post-vaccination
Number of Participants With Solicited Injection-Site Reactions and Systemic Reactions Following a Dose of Live Attenuated JE-CV or Varicella Vaccine
