Brief Summary

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

This study will compare the safety and immunogenicity of ZOSTAVAX™ (V211) administered both intradermally and subcutaneously at various doses.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an exploratory, randomized, partially blinded, multicenter clinical study designed to compare safety and biomarkers of varicella zoster virus immunogenicity when administering ZOSTAVAX™ (V211) at various doses both intradermally and subcutaneously in healthy male and female participants 50 years of age and older.
