Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this trial is to determine if there is an improvement in the immune response of older adults over 50 years of age using a modified process hepatitis B vaccine and a currently licensed hepatitis B vaccine (RECOMBIVAX HB™).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Healthy male and female older adults greater than or equal to 50 years of age

Exclusion Criteria

* Any adult with a history of previous hepatitis B infection
* A history of vaccination with any hepatitis B vaccine
* Recent (\<72 hours) history of febrile illness (oral temperature =37.8ºC/=100.0ºF)
* Known or suspected hypersensitivity to any component of RECOMBIVAX HB™ or ENGERIX-B™ (e.g., aluminum, yeast)
* Recent administration (within 3 months prior to first injection with the study vaccine) of hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG), serum immune globulin, or any other blood-derived product
* Receipt of licensed inactivated vaccines within 14 days prior to first injection with the study vaccine
* Receipt of licensed live virus vaccines within the 30 days prior to injection with the study vaccine
