tdenv piv and lav dengue prime-boost strategy

Conditions: Dengue

Summary: the potential synergistic effect of administering 2 dengue vaccine candidates that were previously shown to be safe and immunogenic in humans will be evaluated in this study. a prime-boost study of tetravalent dengue virus purified inactivated vaccine (tdenv-piv) with alum and tetravalent dengue live attenuated virus (tdenv-lav) vaccine formulation 17 (f17) will gather data to help better understand the human immune response to dengue vaccination and infection.
