Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of Takeda's Tetravalent Dengue Vaccine Candidate (TDV) (previously DENVax) in healthy adults when given as either a subcutaneous (SC) or intradermal (ID) injection at two dose levels (low and high). The vaccine will be given as two doses 90 days apart. Safety assessments include injection site evaluation and adverse events. The immune response generated after vaccination will be assessed up to 9 months after the first vaccination.
