Summary

This trial is testing whether a single dose of an experimental tetanus vaccine is safe and triggers a protective immune response in adults aged 18 and older. Participants will receive either the new vaccine or a control vaccine, and researchers will measure antibody levels and monitor for side effects. The goal is to see if this vaccine could be a reliable way to prevent tetanus.
