Occurrence, intensity of each solicited local symptom within 7 days (Days 0-6) after each vaccination, in subjects included in the 7-day diary card subset; Assessed solicited local symptoms were pain, redness and swelling. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain = Significant pain at rest that prevented everyday normal activity. Grade 3 redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond 100 millimeters (mm) of injection site.

The purpose of this observer-blind study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' candidate Herpes Zoster (HZ) vaccine in adults aged ≥ 70 years.
Two studies (Zoster-006 \[NCT01165177\] and Zoster-022 \[NCT01165229\]) will be conducted concurrently to evaluate efficacy of GSK1437173A vaccine. A pooled analysis of data from both studies combined will be conducted contingent on each study achieving its objectives. This protocol posting also deals with the outcome measures related to the pooled analysis.
