1.  Primary:   To Evaluate the Safety Profile of MVA85A/AERAS-485 in Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) -Vaccinated, HIV-negative Infants.   [ Time Frame: AEs recorded 28 days post-vaccination; SAEs recorded for entire study period. ]
  Hide Outcome Measure 1

Measure Type Primary
Measure Title To Evaluate the Safety Profile of MVA85A/AERAS-485 in Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) -Vaccinated, HIV-negative Infants.
Measure Description Adverse events (AE) were collected for 28 days after vaccination. The subject's parent or guardian recorded information regarding occurrences of solicited adverse events in diary cards through 7 days after vaccination. Serious adverse events (SAE) were collected from the time of study vaccine dosing throughout the entire study. A safety cohort (the first 330 infants enrolled) also had serum chemistry and hematology testing up to 28 days post-vaccination.
Time Frame AEs recorded 28 days post-vaccination; SAEs recorded for entire study period.  

Population Description
Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
All subjects vaccinated.
