    Arms of the Study

    Arm 1

    Arm Type

    Experimental

    Arm Label

    Zoster Vaccine Live

    Arm Description

    Single subcutaneous injection of 0.65 mL in the deltoid region of arm on Day 1

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) From Day 1 in Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) Antibody
    Blood samples collected prevaccination on Day 1 and Week 4 postvaccination were analyzed using a glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA) to detect Immunoglobulin G antibody to VZV. The GMFR reports the geometric mean of the ratio of individual participant VZV antibody titers at Week 4 postvaccination / Day 1 (Baseline).
    Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of VZV Antibody
    Blood samples collected prevaccination on Day 1 and Week 4 postvaccination were analyzed using a gpELISA to detect Immunoglobulin G antibody to VZV
    Percentage of Participants With Clinical Adverse Experiences
    An adverse experience was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of study vaccine, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine is also an adverse experience.
    Percentage of Participants Discontinued Due to Clinical Adverse Experiences

    Brief Summary
    This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of ZOSTAVAX™ in Korean adults. Approximately 180 herpes zoster history negative subjects ≥ 50 years of age will be enrolled in the study. Each subject will receive a single dose of ZOSTAVAX™. No statistical hypothesis testing will be conducted in the study.
