Please refer to your US Managed Care Safety Study (MCO) protocol concept submitted to the BLA on August 13, 2009:

1) Please include “reactive arthritis” among pre-specified endpoints.

2) Section 7, related to adverse events and serious adverse events, will require further clarification.

3) As an exploratory analysis, please conduct SaTScan (spatial and temporal scan statistics) or similar statistical analysis to identify onset interval clusters of all primary and secondary endpoints specified above within the 12 month follow-up period.

4) Please define time windows, after vaccination, specific to each adverse event.

5) Please perform primary analyses of serious adverse events occurring with onset times which are specific to the adverse event, in addition to the proposed 12 month follow-up.

6) Please implement additional self-control design methods in the MCO-base study for all primary and secondary endpoints specified above.
