Brief Summary

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

Hepatitis B Vaccine \[Recombinant\] is a well-established vaccine which has been used extensively, worldwide since its initial licensure in 1986. Hepatitis B vaccines: \[1\] induce protection against the morbidity and mortality of acute hepatitis B virus infection, \[2\] reduce the incidence of chronic infection in vaccinated populations, and \[3\] thereby, reduce the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma. The purpose of the trial is to assess if the new manufacturing process of the Hepatitis B Vaccine \[Recombinant\] vaccine shows the same level of hepatitis B antibody response or better as the currently licensed Hepatitis B Vaccine \[Recombinant\] vaccine. This study will also confirm that the new process vaccine is as well tolerated as the current vaccine.
