- Number of Participants With Varicella Glycoprotein Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (gpELISA) Antibody Titer ≥ 5 gpELISA Units [ Time Frame: 6 weeks postvaccination ]Antibody response to Varicella at 6 weeks postvaccination in participants with baseline titer <1.25 gpELISA units
- Number of Participants With Postvaccination Measles Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Antibody Titer ≥ 207.5 mIU/mL [ Time Frame: 6 weeks postvaccination ]Antibody response to measles at 6 weeks postvaccination in participants initially seronegative (a titer <207.5 mIU/mL) to measles at baseline
- Number of Participants With Postvaccination Mumps ELISA Antibody Titer ≥ 2.0 Ab Units/mL [ Time Frame: 6 weeks Postvaccination ]Antibody response to Mumps at 6 weeks postvaccination in participants initially seronegative (a titer < 2.0 Ab units/mL) to Mumps at baseline
- Number of Participants With Postvaccination Rubella ELISA Antibody Titer ≥ 10 IU/mL [ Time Frame: 6 weeks Postvaccination ]Antibody response to Rubella at 6 weeks postvaccination in participants initially seronegative (a titer <10 IU/mL) to Rubella at baseline
- Number of Participants With Serious Vaccine-Related Clinical Adverse Experiences (CAEs) [ Time Frame: 6 weeks Postvaccination Visit 1 or Visit 2 ]Participants with a serious vaccine-related CAE (an AE which is assessed by an investigator/qualified physician as being related to study vaccine and results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, prolongs an existing inpatient hospitalization, is life-threatening, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, a cancer, or an overdose).
