Safety, Tolerability, and the Body's Ability to Develop Resistance to an Investigational Vaccine for Shingles
A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controled, Randomized Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity After 1 and 2 Doses of Zoster Vaccine

The purpose of this study is to determine the immunity (the body's protection) against shingles after receiving two doses of an investigational vaccine or placebo (a look alike vaccine with no active ingredients).

The duration of treatment is 12 weeks.
