  1. ACWY-TT = group of participants who received one dose of MenACWY-TT at Month 0.
  2. Men-PS = group of participants who received one dose of the MenACWY polysaccharide vaccine at Month 0.
  3. N = number of participants with the administered dose (total vaccinated cohort).
  4. n/% = number/percentage of participants reporting a specified symptom during the four-day post-vaccination period.
  5. 95% CI = standardised asymptotic 95% confidence interval.
  6. Bold = upper limits of the 95% confidence intervals of the differences in percentages of participants reporting grade 3 general symptoms, which were used to demonstrate non-inferiority (co-primary objective).
