Study type Participant information sheet
Scientific titleDose-response study of 17DD yellow fever vaccine produced by Bio-Manguinhos/Fiocruz
Study objectivesYellow fever vaccine on lower doses is effective and safe.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee of Instituto de Pesquisa Clínica Evandro Chagas gave approval on the 10th November 2008 (ref: 0038.0.009.000-08)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedYellow fever vaccination
InterventionVaccination with one dose (subcutaneously [sc]) of yellow fever vaccine in current use or in five decreasing dilutions, and a placebo (placebo will receive vaccine as soon as possible):

Reference vaccine (in current use): approximately 60,000 PFU (approximately 12,000 MLD50)
Arm 1: approximately 20,000 PFU (approximately 4,000 MLD50)
Arm 2: approximately 6,667 PFU (approximately 1,300 MLD50)
Arm 3: approximately 2,222 PFU (approximately 450 MLD50)
Arm 4: approximately 740 PFU (approximately 150 MLD50)
Arm 5: approximately 246 PFU (approximately 50 MLD50)
Arm 6: placebo

Those who do not become protected by vaccination and the placebo group will receive one dose of the reference vaccine. Volunteers will be followed up for a month after vaccination. One year after vaccination there will be another blood collection, for evaluation of duration of immunity.
