About the study

The purpose of this study is to describe the side effects and immune response of a candidate vaccine that might protect against Zika. The vaccine called PIZV (purified inactivated Zika virus vaccine) is given by injection in two doses that are 28 days apart in healthy adults. Participants will receive PIZV or placebo and will be followed for 7 days after each dose and up to 6 months after dose 2.
