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 whether the refrigerator-stable formulation of an investigational vaccine has a comparable immune response (the body's ability to protect against disease) and safety profile to that of the freezer-stable formulation of the vaccine.
