Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
- 1. Participants and/or participants’ parents/LARs, who, in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (e.g., completion of the eDiary, return for follow-up visits). 2.

For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone equivalent ≥20 mg/day for adult participants and ≥0.5 mg/kg/day with maximum ≥20 mg/day for pediatric participants. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed. 15. Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the participant has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non investigational vaccine/product (drug or medical device). 16.
