Number of Participants With an Adverse Event (AE)
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an adverse experience.
Time frame: Up to Day 14 postvaccination

Number of Participants With an Injection-site AE
Injection-site AEs reported by \> 0% of participants in one or more vaccination groups were assessed.
Time frame: Up to Day 14 postvaccination
Number of Participants With a Systemic AE
Systemic AEs reported by \> 0% of participants in one or more vaccination groups were assessed.
Time frame: Up to Day 14 postvaccination
Number of Participants With a Serious Adverse Event (SAE)
An SAE is an AE that results in death, is life threatening, requires or prolongs an existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or is another important medical event deemed such by medical or scientific judgment.
Time frame: Up to one month after last dose of study vaccine
Number of Participants Who Discontinued the Study Due to an AE
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an adverse experience.
Time frame: Up to Day 14 postvaccination
Percentage of Participants With Opsonophagocytic Killing Activity (OPA) Titer ≥ 8 as Measured by Fourfold Multiplexed Opsonization Assay (MOPA4) for Postvaccination 3
