---|---|
Experimental: Seropersistence evaluation + 2nd booster vaccination
Blood will be drawn to assess the seropersistence of TBE virus antibodies at 82, 94, 106 and 118 months after the first booster vaccination with FSME-IMMUN 0.5ml administered during the first precursor study. Timing of the second booster vaccination will depend on the level of serum TBE antibodies observed during the study. Blood will be drawn 21 - 35 days after vaccination to assess the booster response.
|
Biological: FSME-IMMUN 0.5 ml
Solution/suspension for injection (intramuscular injection into the deltoid muscle of the right or left upper arm). Dosage frequency of booster vaccination: dependent on serum TBE antibodies. |
- Seropositivity rate measured by neutralization test (NT) 82, 94, 106 and 118 months after the first booster TBE vaccination administered in the first precursor study and after the booster vaccination in this study [ Time Frame: 118 months ]
- Seropositivity rate measured by ELISA test 82, 94, 106 and 118 months after the first booster TBE vaccination administered in the first precursor study and after the booster vaccination in this study [ Time Frame: 118 months ]
- Antibody titers 82, 94, 106 and 118 months after the first booster TBE vaccination administered in the first precursor study and after the booster vaccination in this study measured by ELISA and by NT [ Time Frame: 118 months ]
- Fold increase in antibody concentration after the booster vaccination administered as compared to before the booster vaccination in this study measured by ELISA and by NT [ Time Frame: 118 months ]
