The subject should be able to continue in the study for the next 6 weeks b. The subject (or parent/guardian) should be willing to provide 3 blood samples 2.Written informed consent obtained from the subjects or their parents/guardians, and written assent obtained from children aged 12 â?? 17 years. 3.Healthy subjects as determined by: a.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.Proportion of subjects stratified by age (6-14 and â?¥15 years old) with greater than fourfold rise in serum vibriocidal antibody titers compared between subjects receiving a two dose boost, Shancholâ?¢ regimen (previously immunized) and a two dose primary series (previously unimmunized). Timepoint: 1.The four fold rise would be determined by titres measured at baseline and 14 days after the second dose booster compared with baseline and 14 days after completion of the primary series stratified by age.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.Proportion of subjects stratified by age with greater than fourfold rise in serum vibriocidal titers compared between subjects receiving a one dose boosting Shancholâ?¢ regimen and a primary series previously unimmunized. 2.Proportion of subjects stratified by age given a single or two booster doses with any reported serious adverse events throughout the trial 3.To confirm the safety of one and two dose boosting regimens Shancholâ?¢ in healthy, non-pregnant subjects stratified by age.Timepoint: 1/The four fold rise would be determined by titres measured at baseline and 14 days after the single dose booster compared with baseline and 14 days after completion of the primary series.2/For safety:a/All participants will be observed for 30 minutes after receiving the agent, and will be visited by CHWs to assess for any adverse events 3 days following each dose. b/To confirm the safety of one and two dose boosting regimens Shancholâ?¢ stratified by age within 28 days following dosing.
