A study to assess whether a new vaccine called ChAdOx1 RVF will be safe and work well in generating an immune response against Rift Valley fever in adults and adolescents in Senegal.

A Phase I/II Randomised, Double-blind Active-controlled Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of a Single Dose of ChAdOx1 RVF Vaccine in Healthy Seronegative and Seropositive Adult Volunteers in Senegal and Age Expansion to Adolescents and Older Adults.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Known allergy to vaccine components, serious allergic reaction to any prior vaccination or any history of anaphylaxis/life-threatening allergic reactions. - Acute febrile illness / clinically significant acute illness in the 72-hours prior to vaccination. - Prior receipt of an RVF vaccine. - Concurrent participation in another vaccine trial or use of an investigational product in the 90 days prior to study product administration or plans to receive an investigational product during the trial. - Receipt of any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to study vaccination or plans to receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks after trial vaccination. - Confirmed infection with HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C. - Any Grade 1 or Grade 2, clinically significant abnormalities in baseline screening laboratory parameters - Clinically significant chronic illness. - History of capillary leak syndrome, known thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) / vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) following a previous adenoviral vectored vaccine, other thrombotic/thrombo-embolic disease, immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (or persistent thrombocytopenia of unknown cause) and immune-mediated neurological disorders including but not limited to Guillain-Barre syndrome and transverse myelitis.  - Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 consecutive days) of immunosuppressant (> 0.5mg/kg/day of prednisolone or equivalent) or other immune modifying drugs within the 12 months prior to the administration of the study vaccine including the use of glucocorticoids. The use of inhaled, per nasal and topical glucocorticoids is permitted.  - Immunosuppression or immunodeficiency disorders based on history and physical examination. - Known coagulation or clotting disorder precluding intramuscular vaccine administration.
