The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of VEE vaccine, C-84, TSI-GSD 205, Lot 7, Run 1, and collect data on the incidence of occupational VEE infection in vaccinated personnel.
Be 18 to 65 years old at time of consent
Have received VEE TC-83 vaccine
Have VEE plaque reduction neutralization 80% titers (PRNT80) <1:20
If female of childbearing potential, must agree to have a urine pregnancy test on the same day before each vaccination administration. (Exception: documented hysterectomy or >3 years of menopause). The results must be negative. Females just agree not to become pregnant for 3 months after receipt of the last study treatment (vaccination).
Have completed previous VEE C-84 vaccine study as a non-responder.
Have clinically significant abnormal laboratory results (including evidence of hepatitis C, hepatitis B carrier state) or elevated liver function tests (two times the normal range or at the discretion of the PI).
Have a personal history of an immunodeficiency or received treatment with an immunosuppressive medication, such as systemically administered glucocorticoids (eg, prednisone) within 1 month before planned administration of the vaccine or with other immunosuppressive therapies within 6 months of planned administration of the vaccine. Other immunosuppressive therapies include all cancer chemotherapeutic agents, drugs to prevent transplant rejection, interferons, monoclonal antibodies, protein kinase inhibitors, methotrexate, TNF (tumor necrosis factor) inhibitors, and any other drug determined to be immunosuppressive by the PI. Current administration of topical, inhalational, or intranasal glucocorticoids is not excluded.
Have confirmed HIV infection.
