Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- In good health as established by medical history, physical examination and laboratory testing at the time of enrollment.
You may not qualify if:
- Has had any other vaccines within the past 8 weeks.
- Has had prior H5 avian influenza investigational vaccine.
- Current history of chronic alcohol consumption and/or illicit and/or recreational drug use.
- History of autoimmune related disease.
- History of any confirmed or suspected immunodeficient or immunosuppressive condition (no congenital or acquired condition that impedes normal immune response, no concurrent immunosuppressive therapy).
- Positive serology for HIV, HCV, or HBV.
- Previous serious reactions to vaccination such as anaphylaxis, respiratory problems, hives or abdominal pain.
- History of irritable bowel disease or other inflammatory digestive or gastrointestinal conditions that could affect the intended distribution or safety evaluation of an orally administered vaccine targeting the mucosa of the small intestine.
- Use of proton pump inhibitors (Nexium, Prilosec) that substantially increases stomach pH.
- Stool sample with occult blood at baseline exam
