Primary Outcome Measures:

Number of Subjects Reporting Grade 2 or 3 Symptoms (Fever, Vomiting or Diarrhoea) [ Time Frame: During the 8-day (Day 0 - Day 7) follow-up period after each vaccination. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Grade 2 fever was defined as axillary temperature above 38.0 degrees Celsius (°C) and below or equal to 39.0°C.

Grade 3 fever was defined as axillary temperature above 39.0°C. Grade 2 vomiting was defined as 2 episodes of vomiting per day. Grade 3 vomiting was defined as at least 3 episodes of vomiting per day. Grade 2 diarrhoea was defined as 4-5 looser than normal stools per day. Grade 3 diarrhoea was defined as at least 6 looser than normal stools per day.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited General Symptoms [ Time Frame: During the 8-day (Day 0 - Day 7) follow-up period after each vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Cough: Cough/runny nose of any intensity Diarrhoea: Passage of three or more looser than normal stools within a day Irritability: Cried more than usual Loss of appetite: Ate less than usual Temperature: Axillary temperature greater than or equal to 37.5°C Vomiting: One or more episodes of forceful emptying of partially digested stomach contents ≥ 1 hour after feeding within a day
Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: During the 31-day (Day 0 - Day 30) follow-up period after each vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Unsolicited AE covers any AE 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.
Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Throughout the study period (from Day 0 up to Day 30) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.
