Brief Summary

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

The study will evaluate the consistency of 3 lots of inactivated VZV vaccine for safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity in healthy adults. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the 3 lots of inactivated vaccine will demonstrate similar immunogenicity at 28 days after the fourth dose.
