Primary Outcome Measures:
- Safety: Frequency adverse events will be evaluated for all intent-to-treat subjects: headache, myalgia, fever, fatigue, sore throat, erythema, tenderness, and warmth. Immunogenicity: Measured by the 80% plaque-reduction neutralization titer (PRNT80). [ Time Frame: AEs recorded through 28 days after each booster dose; SAEs recorded for study duration; Immunogencity:PRNT80 at days 21 and 35 after each booster dose and 12-15 months after vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Safety: Frequency of all other adverse events for all intent-to-treat subjects; Immunogenicity: Frequency of confirmed cases of VEE disease among vaccinated subjects compliant with titer schedule with documented exposure after working with VEE virus. [ Time Frame: Safety: AE's: 28 days after vaccination; SAE's: duration of study; Immunogenicity: duration of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Intervention Details:
Biological: VEE C-84
Subjects will receive a 0.5 mL subcutaneous injection in the upper outer aspect of arm; maximum of four boosters in 1 year if titer <1:20.
Study Objectives:
Primary:
To assess safety of Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis Vaccine, Inactivated, Dried, C-84, TSI GSD 205, as a booster vaccination as a single dose or a three-dose series, and To assess immunogenicity of Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis Vaccine, Inactivated, Dried, C-84, TSI GSD 205, as a booster vaccination as a single dose or a three-dose series
Secondary:
To assess incidence of VEE infection in C-84 boosted personnel.
