↵a n, number of subjects in the according-to-protocol cohort for persistence/immunogenicity post-booster vaccination; group O, MenC vaccine-naïve age-matched controls.
↵b Preboost, prior to booster vaccination; postboost, after booster vaccination.
↵c *, statistically significant difference compared to the control group; #, statistically significant difference compared to group O. The 95% CIs for the group differences in seroprotection/seropositivity rates do not include a value equivalent to 0, and the 95% CIs for the GMC or GMT ratio do not include a value equivalent to 1.
↵d Direct comparison with results from the primary phase cannot be made due to the use of different assays in each phase.
↵e 95% CI*, exact 95% CI.
