Safety of and Immune Response to Two Different Dengue Virus Vaccines in Individuals Previously Immunized Against Dengue Virus

Summary

Dengue fever, which is caused by dengue viruses, is a major health problem in subtropical regions of the world. There are four different forms (serotypes) of dengue virus that can cause dengue fever. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and immune response to a vaccine containing a particular dengue serotype when an individual has been previously vaccinated with a different dengue serotype.
