Brief Summary

This study is to assess the safety of a bivalent vaccine of two new 6:2 influenza virus reassortants in healthy adults prior to the release of the trivalent vaccine (FluMist) containing them.

Detailed Description

The primary study objective is to assess the safety of a bivalent vaccine of two new 6:2 influenza virus reassortants in healthy adults prior to the release of the trivalent vaccine (FluMist) containing them. Safety will be demonstrated by similar fever rates (oral temperature ≥101°F Days 0-7) in vaccine and placebo recipients.
