Why is this research important for GVGH/GSK: This project will hugely support the development of a new vaccine which is aligned with GSK/GVGH overall Global Health objectives. The execution of this clinical study will provide safety and immunogenicity data that will be the basis for further development of a vaccine for endemic regions of the world.
