Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Any history or evidence of any clinically significant or currently active major disease, or condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with a subject completing the study and the necessary investigations (following a detailed medical history, physical examination, vital signs (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and body temperature) and ECG). Minor deviations from the normal range may be accepted, if judged by the investigator to have no clinical relevance; Any confirmed or suspected disease or condition associated with immune system impairment, including auto-immune diseases, HIV, asplenia or recurrent severe infections; (History of) confirmed or suspected rheumatic disease or condition associated with joint inflammation or clinically significant arthritis/arthralgia.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Infection rate: number of healthy volunteers developing viremia divided by the number of healthy volunteers receiving the vaccine - Sumptomatic rate: number of healthy volunteers developing vaccine related symptoms divides by the number of healthy volunteers receiving the vaccine. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Nature, frequency and severity of (serious) adverse events; - Vital signs; - Vaccine related symptoms; - Clinical laboratory tests including hematology and chemistry; - Physical examination, symptom directed and on indication; - Concomitant medication; - Local tolerability of injection site as assessed by a numeric rating scale (NRS). - Chikungunya viral load (in both blood and urine) over time as determined by qPCR. - Chikungunya viral culture titer, determined by plaque assay, over time. - Severity, duration and nature of solicited and unsolicited vaccine related symptoms. - Occurrence of leukopenia and lymphopenia after administration of the VLA1553 vaccine. - Seroconversion rate: number of healthy volunteers developing virus neutralizing antibodies divided by the number of healthy volunteers receiving the vaccine; - Titer of virus neutralizing antibodies. | — |
