Time to onset of symptoms was highly variable, ranging from 1 to 26 days and 56 showing a median of 6 days. The difference in the time of onset having received the 57 first or the second vaccine dose was not consistent between the series. Lastly, the 58 sample distribution was, overall, highly heterogeneous in terms of comorbidities, past 59 history of herpes zoster or previous VZV vaccination.
