  1. *The results are shown for each vaccine trial (n = 3 replicates), with the average standard deviation (± SD) and the total sample size (N) assessed. The data were analysed using either the log-rank test (p < 0.05) or a one-way ANOVA test (p < 0.05). The letters “a–c” were used to represent statistical differences between the various groups when conducting the Tukey-HSD test
