About this trial
The study aims to evaluate an egg-based H5N8 influenza vaccine up to 3 dose levels (low, medium, and high dose) given with or without adjuvant to see if the adjuvant improves vaccine effectiveness.
The study will enroll healthy adults aged 18 years and over. Participants will receive 2 injections in their arm of either one of the 3 dose levels of the study vaccine (low, medium, or high dose) with the adjuvant or the unadjuvanted vaccine (high dose).
Study duration per participant: approximately 14 months (including screening visit).
