A Study to Determine If a New Shigella Vaccine is Safe, Induces Immunity and The Best Dose Among Kenyan Infants

Summary

In this study, the tetravalent bioconjugate candidate vaccine Shigella4V will be tested to obtain first-in-human data on its safety and immunogenicity in infants and to identify the preferred dose of Shigella4V in 9 month old infants.
