Title: An Extension Study to Evaluate the Persistence of the Immune Responses Induced by GSK Biologicals Zoster Vaccine, GSK324332A, Administered in Healthy Adult Subjects Aged 18-30 Years and 50-70 Years
Brief Summary: The safety and immunogenicity of the GSK324332A vaccine has been evaluated up to Month 12 post-vaccination in the primary study. In the extension studies presented here, the persistence of the cellular and humoral immune responses will be evaluated 30 and 42 months after the first vaccination in young and elderly adults who received the GSK324332A vaccine. This protocol posting deals only with objectives \& outcome measures of the extension phase at Months 30 and 42. No new recruitment will be done in these extension phases of the primary study. No vaccines are administered in this phase of the study.

* Written informed consent obtained from the subject;
* Free of obvious health problems as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) within 1 month preceding the study start, or planned use during the study period;
* Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within three months prior to the first study procedure, including corticosteroids, except inhaled and topical steroids are allowed;
* Administration or planned administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol within 2 weeks before the first study procedure, with the exception of the Influenza vaccine, which can be administered 1 week preceding the first study procedure;
* Previous vaccination against HZ, except the study vaccine administered in the primary study;
* History of HZ (shingles);
* Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition based on medical history and physical examination;
* Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the 3 months preceding the first study procedure or planned administration during the study period.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subjects who the investigator believes will comply with the requirements of the protocol;
* Written informed consent obtained from the subject;
* A male or female aged 50 years or older at the time of the first vaccination;
* Female subjects of non-childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study;

For this study population, non-childbearing potential is defined as current tubal ligation, hysterectomy, ovariectomy or post-menopause.

OR Female subjects of childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study, if the subject has practiced adequate contraception for 30 days prior to vaccination, and has a negative urine pregnancy test on the day of vaccination, and has agreed to continue adequate contraception during the entire treatment period and for 2 months after completion of the vaccination series;

Exclusion Criteria:

* Use of any investigational or non-registered product other than the study vaccine within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period;
* Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational product;
* Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition resulting from disease or immunosuppressive/cytotoxic therapy;
* History of HZ;
* Previous vaccination against varicella or HZ;
* History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine. Additionally, consider allergic reactions to other material or equipment related to study participation;
* Significant underlying illness that in the opinion of the investigator would be expected to prevent completion of the study;
* Receipt of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the 90 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine or planned administration during the study period;
* Administration or planned administration of any other immunizations within 30 days before the first or second study vaccination or scheduled within 30 days after study vaccination. However, licensed non-replicating vaccines may be administered up to 8 days prior to each dose and/or at least 14 days after any dose of study vaccine;
* Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with the evaluations required by the study;
* Acute disease and/or fever at the time of enrollment;
* Chronic administration of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the first vaccine dose.
* Pregnant or lactating female;
* Female planning to become pregnant or planning to discontinue contraceptive precautions.

2. Prior herpes-zoster episode clinically diagnosed by a physician
3. Prior receipt of varicella or zoster vaccine
4. Exposure to varicella or herpes-zoster within the 4 weeks prior to the first vaccination
5. Significant underlying illness preventing completion of the study vaccination schedules,
6. Known active tuberculosis,
7. Immune deficiency disorder, including active neoplastic disease within the prior 5 years,
8. Immune function impairment caused by medical condition or immunosuppressive therapy, or any other cause,
9. Receipt of any inactivated vaccine within the 2 weeks prior to the first vaccination,
10. Receipt of any other live vaccine within the 4 weeks prior to the first vaccination,

Exclusion Criteria:

* No history of shingles, no current history of immune suppression (e.g. malignancy or neoplastic disease, corticosteroid therapy).
* No immunosuppression resulting from disease (e.g., malignancy; HIV infection), corticosteroids (except intermittent topical or inhaled corticosteroid \[greater than 800 mcg/day beclomethasone dipropionate or equivalent\]), or other immunosuppressive/cytotoxic therapy (cancer chemotherapy or organ transplantation).
* No active neoplastic disease (except local skin cancer or other malignancies \[e.g., prostate cancer\] that are stable in the absence of immunosuppressive/cytotoxic therapy).
* No prior Herpes Zoster.
* No prior receipt of varicella vaccine.
* No allergic sensitivity to neomycin.
