Summary

This study tests a two-dose vaccine designed to prevent diarrhea from two common types of Shigella bacteria in 8,000 children aged 6 months to 5 years in Bangladesh. Half the children get the vaccine, half get a placebo, and researchers track how many get sick over time. The goal is to see if the vaccine can safely reduce cases of dysentery, a serious diarrheal disease.
