YF-INFECT: Yellow Fever Human Infection Model With YF-17D
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
No antiviral treatment exists for yellow fever, only supportive care, and therefore we rely on prevention through vaccination. Although this vaccine is very effective, stockpiles are insufficient in outbreak situations and some people have a contraindication to be vaccinated. For those who are unprotected and at risk of yellow fever infection, treatment could be life saving.
