Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Vaccine response test18 weeks

Proportion of participants demonstrating vaccine reponse, receiving either test product or control will be determined and compared. Vaccine response will be defined as greater than or equal to 4 fold increase from pre-vaccine visit in vibriocidal antibody response 7 days post second vaccine dose.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline in nutrional biochemistry18 weeks

Change in nutritional biochemistry for micronutrients vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, folate and of the trace elements (selenium, zinc, copper, iron), ferritin, serum transferrin receptor (sTfR), C-reactive protein (CRP), alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) from baseline to end of the intervention will be measured from the drawn blood.

Absolute vibriocidal antibody titer18 weeks

Blood will be drawn by qualified study personnel as per visits and antibody levels will be assessed.
