- Number of Participants With Seroconversion to Vaccine Antigens Following Vaccination With JE-CV by GPO MBP Lots [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 28 post-vaccination ]Anti-Japanese encephalitis chimeric virus vaccine antibodies were measured using the 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50). Seroconversion was defined as participants with a pre-vaccination titer <10 1/dil and post-vaccination titer ≥ 10 1/dil, or participants with pre-vaccination titer ≥ 10 1/dil and 4-fold increase from pre- to post-vaccination.
- Geometric Mean Titers Against the Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (JE-CV) Antigens Before and Following Vaccination With a JE-CV by GPO MBP Lot or Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) JE-CV [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 28 post-vaccination ]Anti-Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus antibodies were measured using the 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50) assay.
- Number of Participants With Seroprotection to Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Antigens Before and Following Vaccination With a JE-CV by GPO MBP Lot or WRAIR JE-CV [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 28 post-vaccination ]Anti-Japanese encephalitis chimeric virus vaccine antibodies were measured using the PRNT50 assay. Seroprotection was defined as the proportion of subjects with a JE CV virus PRNT50 neutralizing antibody titer ≥10 1/dilution (dil).
- Geometric Mean Titers Ratios Against the Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus (JE-CV) Antigen Following Vaccination With One of the JE-CV by GPO MBP Lots or WRAIR JE-CV Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 28 post-vaccination ]Anti Japanese encephalitis chimeric virus antibodies were measured using the PRNT50 assay.
- Number of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection Site and Systemic Reactions Following Vaccination With a Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (JE- CV) by GPO MBP Lot or WRAIR JE-CV, or Hepatitis A Vaccine. [ Time Frame: Day 0 up to Day 14 post-vaccination ]Solicited injection site: Tenderness, Erythema, and Swelling; Solicited systemic reactions: Fever (Temperature), Vomiting, Crying Abnormal, Drowsiness, Appetite Lost, and Irritability. Grade 3 injection site: Tenderness, cries when injected limb is moved or the movement of injected limb is reduced; Erythema and Swelling ≥5 cm. Grade 3 systemic reactions: Fever, temperature >39.5˚C; Vomiting, ≥6 episodes per 24 hours or requiring parenteral hydration; Crying Abnormal, >3 hours; Drowsiness, sleeping most of the time or difficult to wake up; Appetite Lost, refuses ≥3 or most feeds/meals; and Irritability, inconsolable.
- Serological Status of Flavivirus Infection at Baseline (Before) Vaccination With a Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (JE-CV) or Hepatitis A Vaccine. [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) ]Flavivirus (FV) positive was defined as anti-JE against homologous virus strain ≥10 l/dil or anti dengue against at least one serotype ≥10 l/dil. FV negative was defined as anti-JE against homologous virus strain <10 l/dil and anti-dengue against the 4 serotypes <10 l/dilution.
