Study Overview

Brief Summary

There is a need for safe, highly infectious Norovirus inocula for use in Norovirus vaccine-challenge studies to assess the efficacy of Norovirus vaccines and examine the immune response among vaccinated and unvaccinated subjects. The purpose of this study is to generate the infection and illness rate and immune response data necessary for the conduct of future investigation of Norovirus vaccine studies.
