Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the immunity (the body's protection) against shingles after receiving two doses of an investigational vaccine or placebo (a look alike vaccine with no active ingredients).
