Low Rates of Severe (Grade 3)
Injection-Site and Systemic
Adverse Events within 7 days
Postvaccination with Live
Attenuated HZ Vaccine, a Post
Hoc Analysis of Two Pivotal Phase
3 Trials Using FDA Grading Scale

Infectious Diseases (ECCMID), Amsterdam, The Netherlands,

Utilizing FDA Toxicity Grading Scale in the Shingles Prevention Study1 and the ZOSTAVAX Efficacy & Safety Trial2
• Severe injection-site reactions within 7 days postvaccination were 1% or less
• Severe systemic AEs within 7 days postvaccination were very rarely reported
• The results of this post-hoc analysis confirm that severe injection-site and systemic AEs occurred infrequently after subcutaneous vaccination with ZOSTAVAX in the pivotal clinical trials to support licensure
• The rates of events categorized as severe injection-site reactions and fever would be even lower if the current FDA Toxicity Grading Scale were applied
• These results are consistent with the safety profile of ZOSTAVAX observed in real-world use and postlicensure surveillance (Merck internal data)
• Routine application of the FDA Toxicity Grading Scale across different vaccine development programs provides a common tool to enable comparison between products

Use of Polysaccharide
Pneumococcal Vaccine23
(PCV23)
and Pneumoconjugate Vaccine13
(PCV13) in Adults
Summary of STIKO 2016 Pneumococcal Vaccination Recommendations for Adults Aged ≥60 Years1
• The majority of IPD in Germany is caused by serotypes contained in
PPSV23
• Vaccine efficacy results from STIKO meta-analysis:
– IPD: 73% for PPSV23 and 76% for PCV13
– NBPP: 37%–64% for PPSV23 and 17%–41% for PCV13
• Health economic modeling found one-time vaccination with PPSV23
to be most cost-effective
• STIKO 2016 recommendations: – Routine vaccination with PPSV23 for all adults aged ≥60 years
– STIKO does not recommend sequential vaccination with PCV13
and PPSV23 as a standard vaccination regimen for older adults
IPD=invasive pneumococcal disease; NBPP=nonbacteremic pneumococcal disease; PCV13=13-valent pneumococcal conjugate
vaccine; PPSV23=23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine: PNEUMOVAX®23 (Pneumococcal Vaccine Polyvalent);
STIKO=German Standing Committee on Vaccination.

US ACIP’s Recommendations for Sequential Pneumococcal Vaccination
Adults Aged ≥65 Years1
2014: Sequential PCV13PPSV23 regimen is recommended by the ACIP
• 2018: ACIP recommendations will be reevaluated and revised as needed because of the potential time-limited benefit of PCV13 for adults ≥65 years
• Indirect effects from PCV13 use among children, if similar to those observed after PCV7 introduction, might further reduce the remaining burden of adult pneumococcal disease caused by PCV13-types.
ACIP=Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices; PCV13=13-valent pneumccoccal polysaccharide-protein
conjugate vaccine; PPSV23=23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine.

V114 Early Clinical Development Program: Completed Clinical Trials
1. V114-001: Safety and Immunogenicity in adults and toddlers – Small cohort of adults and toddlers: Single dose of V114
2. V114-002: Safety and Immunogenicity in adults ≥50 years of age
– Single dose of MAPA-adjuvanted V114 compared to PCV13 and PPSV23
3. V114-003: Safety and immunogenicity of V114 in infants – MAPA-adjuvanted and nonadjuvanted formulations of V114
compared to PCV13 – Four doses given at 2, 4, 6, and 12-15 months of age – Non-inferiority (immunogenicity) hypothesis met for 10 out of
13 shared serotypes
Conclusions
• Serotype-specific OPA GMTs and IgG GMCs at one month post vaccination (adjusted for baseline titer level) were generally comparable between recipients of PCV15 and PCV13 for the 13 common serotypes
• PCV15 induces significant increase (>10-fold rise) in OPA GMTs and IgG GMCs to serotypes 22F and 33F
• Overall, a higher number of PCV15 recipients reported injection-site and systemic AEs relative to recipients of PCV13, although differences were not clinically significant
Majority of injection-site and systemic AEs were transient and mild to moderate in intensity
Nature, frequency, and intensity of AEs reported by recipients of PCV15 were consistent with AEs previously reported for PCV7 and PCV13

Cumulative Shingles Vaccine Coverage in Korea
Adults > 50 (Private Market)
*Note that these rates are cumulative penetration vs. >50 Korea statistics Source: based on distribution & in-market data (data on file)
In Europe: vaccination coverage rates for recommended vaccinations in “seniors” are far lower than for recommended pediatric vaccinations in the same EU countries
Factors Impacting Vaccine Uptake in Adults Barriers Drivers
Vaccines Attributes • Efficacy • Number of doses in series • Storage requirements
• Efficacy & effectiveness • Safety and tolerability
Stakeholders
Population • Believe vaccines are for children only • Believe vaccination can actually cause the
disease (e.g.Flu) • Complacency, Convenience & Confidence • Gaps in public knowledge and awareness • No regular visits • Personal cost
• Older Adults likely to know about the importance of vaccination
• Public health needs & rational for patients suffering from chronic diseases
• Societal value of « healthy seniors »
Healthcare professionals • Lack of leadership in recommending vaccination to patients
• Unaware of BOD or risk/benefit balance • No culture of vaccination in adults
• Strength of recommendation • Medical training on immunology & vaccinology • Community Pharmacists
Health authorities / Healthcare system
• Limited funding and access • Limited promotion of vaccination schedules • Lack of quality measures • Inconsistent monitoring of: - uptake for recommended vaccinations - vaccination coverage - disease surveillance systems
• Demographic challenge & Healthy ageing • Life course approach to vaccination • Fixed age-based ≪rendez-vous≫ • Aged based recommendation • Personal invitation & reminders • Funding & Ease of access • Program objectives, monitoring & clear
communication campaign
Manufacturers • Price • Supply constraints
• Promotional efforts
Conclusion
A resilient vaccine environment with a life course approach to vaccines development and vaccination will:
• Lead to the deployment of efficacious and safe vaccines that address current and unmet needs
• Establish and sustain robust immunisation programmes
• Increase the likelihood of high levels of vaccine uptake
• Increase confidence in vaccines through stakeholders support
