Study information
Scientific title
Comparison between immune response to different modes of vaccination: intradermal and subcutaneous yellow fever vaccination
Acronym

Primary outcome measure
1. Protective humoral immune response
2. For first time vaccinees measured 4 and 8 weeks post-vaccination, for revaccinees measured 2 weeks post-vaccination.

Secondary outcome measures
Adverse events measured for three weeks post-vaccination by keeping a diary, viremia measured 5 days post-vaccination by RT-PCR.
