Brief Summary

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

Primary Objective:

To estimate the smallpox vaccination take rate in healthy young adults not previously vaccinated with a smallpox vaccine.

Secondary Objectives:

To describe antibody response to vaccination and evaluate the take for each subject at various timepoints for each batch and pooled batches and to evaluate local signs, symptoms, and overall safety in healthy young adults not previously vaccinated with a smallpox vaccine.
