Brazil Pre-Vaccination survey gauges chikungunya immunity
NCT ID NCT07163845
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
