Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the coadministration of oral typhoid fever (Vivotif®) and cholera (Dukoral®) vaccines in healthy volunteers aged 18-65 years. The main question it aims to answer is:
• Does coadministration impact the immune responses to Vivotif® and Dukoral® vaccines
Participants will:
- receive either oral typhoid fever (Vivotif®) or oral cholera (Dukoral®) vaccines or both simultaneously
- give blood samples for immunogenicity analyses
- participate in adverse event follow up
Researchers will compare those receiving only one of the vaccines to those receiving both simultaneously to see if coadministration has an impact on antigen-specific responses measured with:
- ELISPOT (plasmablast responses specific to Salmonella typhi, Vibrio Cholerae and Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli)
- ELISA (antibodies in lymphocyte supernatants (ALS) and serum antibodies specific to vaccine antigens)

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Magnitude of antigen-specific plasmablast responses to oral typhoid fever (Vivotif®) and cholera (Dukoral®) vaccines (ASCs/million PBMCs)
Time Frame: Blood samples on Days 0-7 for all participants and Days 12-14 for participants in Dukoral and Dukoral+Vivotif arms.
Measurement of IgA -, IgG- and IgM-secreting antibody cells (ASC ELISPOT) specific to Salmonella typhi (whole cell), Vibrio cholerae (whole cell and CTB-toxin) and Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC whole cell and LTB-toxin).
Secondary Outcomes
