Official title
A Comparison of Dressing Preparations for Smallpox Vaccination Sites With a Focus Upon the Risk of Secondary Transmission of Vaccinia Virus
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The primary purpose of this study is to find out the risk of spreading the vaccine virus, vaccinia, from the smallpox vaccination site when different types of bandages are used to cover the site. The study will also look at how each bandage type affects the healing of the sore. Study participants will include healthy individuals, 18-50 years old, who have not previously received a smallpox vaccine and healthy individuals, 18-50 years old, who have received a previous smallpox vaccine. All participants will receive the smallpox vaccine and be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 different bandage groups to cover the vaccine site: standard gauze dressing attached with paper tape, Opsite gauze-impregnanted occlusive dressing (attached by paper tape and waterproof), and Allevyn hydropolymer dressing (which is self-adhesive and highly absorbent). Volunteers will be involved in study related procedures for up to 252 days.
