Study Arms (4)

Cohort 1: Shigella Vaccine or Placebo, Followed by Challenge

EXPERIMENTAL

1:1 randomization to investigational Shigella vaccine or placebo (n=30). The majority of participants will then receive the Shigella challenge (n=22).

Cohort 4: Shigella Vaccine Only, No Challenge

EXPERIMENTAL

All volunteers receive the investigational Shigella vaccine (n=12). No Shigella challenge.

Biological: SF2a-TT15 Shigella Vaccine

Interventions

0.5 mL of the vaccine is administered via an intramuscular injection into the deltoid muscle on Study Day 1 and Study Day 29.

Cohort 1: Shigella Vaccine or Placebo, Followed by ChallengeCohort 2: Shigella Vaccine or Placebo, Followed by ChallengeCohort 3: Shigella Vaccine or Placebo, Followed by ChallengeCohort 4: Shigella Vaccine Only, No Challenge
PlaceboOTHER

0.5 mL of normal saline is administered via an intramuscular injection into the deltoid muscle on Study Day 1 and Study Day 29.

Cohort 1: Shigella Vaccine or Placebo, Followed by ChallengeCohort 2: Shigella Vaccine or Placebo, Followed by ChallengeCohort 3: Shigella Vaccine or Placebo, Followed by Challenge

Each participant will drink 120 mL of sodium bicarbonate buffer solution. Approximately 1 to 2 minutes later, the participant will ingest approximately 1500 cfu of S. flexneri 2a strain 2457T suspended in 30 mL of the bicarbonate buffer solution.
