A Study of Two Doses of Oral Cholera Vaccine (Shanchol™) in Subjects Aged 1 Year and Older in the Philippines
A Study of Two Doses of Oral Cholera Vaccine (Shanchol™) in Subjects Aged 1 Year and Older in the Philippines
The aim of the study is to generate safety and immunogenicity data with Oral Cholera Vaccine
 (Shanchol™) in The Philippines

 Objectives:

 -  To describe the safety after each dose of Shanchol vaccine.

 -  To describe the immunogenicity after each dose of Shanchol vaccine.
Healthy toddlers, children, adolescents and adults, aged 1 year and older will receive two
 doses of vaccine 14 days apart, and will be assessed baseline immunogenicity
 (pre-vaccination), and 14 days after each vaccine dose. Safety data will be collected for 14
 days after the first dose and 30 days after the second dose.

 vaccine or another vaccine

 -  Receipt of immune globulins, blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months

 -  Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of
 immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy,
 within the preceding 6 months; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy
 (prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 consecutive weeks within the past 3 months)

 -  History of cholera infection, confirmed either clinically, serologically, or
 microbiologically

 -  At high risk for cholera infection during the trial (i.e., cholera outbreak situation
 or close contact to cholera case)

 -  Known systemic hypersensitivity to any of the vaccine components, or history of a
 life-threatening reaction to the vaccine used in the trial or to a vaccine containing
 any of the same substances

 -  Deprived of freedom by an administrative or court order, or in an emergency setting,
 or hospitalized involuntarily

 -  Intake of oral antibiotics within one week prior to enrollment

 -  Moderate or severe acute illness/infection (according to investigator judgment) on the
 day of vaccination or febrile illness (temperature ≥ 38.0°C). A prospective subject
 should not be included in the study until the condition has resolved or the febrile
 event has subsided

 -  Identified as an Investigator or employee of the Investigator or study center with
 direct involvement in the proposed study, or identified as an immediate family member
 (i.e., parent, spouse, natural, or adopted child) of the Investigator or employee with
 direct involvement in the proposed study

 -  Diarrhea (3 [or more] loose/watery stools within a 24-hours period) within 6 weeks
