First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial is testing a new tetanus vaccine in healthy adults aged 18 to 43. The goal is to see if the vaccine is safe and triggers a strong immune response, measured by antibody levels one month after vaccination. Participants will receive either the new vaccine or a control vaccine, and their health and immune reactions will be compared.
