Summary

This study will test over 5,300 people in about 10 Brazilian municipalities for antibodies to the chikungunya virus before a pilot vaccination campaign with the VLA1553 vaccine. The goal is to see how many people have already been exposed to the virus and how that might affect vaccine uptake. Participants are healthy individuals aged 2 and older living in selected areas.
