Evaluation of the Safety and Immune Response of Five Admixtures of a Tetravalent Dengue Virus Vaccine

Summary

Dengue viruses can cause dengue fever and other serious health conditions, primarily affecting people living in tropical regions of the world. This study will evaluate the safety and immune responses of five formulations of a tetravalent dengue virus vaccine in healthy adults.
