  1. The model was estimated on Phase I data and individual parameters were assessed, for each participant of Phase I and Phase II trials, using observation from 7 days post-second vaccination (day 64) to the peak of individual dynamics.
  2. CI confidence interval, PI prediction interval, RMSE root mean squared error.
  3. aTime delay in days (Mean [95% CI]) from 7 days post-vaccination (day 64) to the peak (first local maximum).
  4. bNumber of observations from 7 days post-vaccination to the peak.
  5. cCriteria calculated on the median of individual predictions.
