Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Salmonella typhi Vi polysaccharide vaccine: immediately, after the baseline MRI scan, 0.5 ml solution once via intramuscular injection in the deltoid (upper arm) of the non-dominant arm, containing 0.025 mg of purified Vi capsular polysaccharide of Salmonella typhi (Ty 2 strain). A second MRI will be conducted 180 minutes after.

Each participant will receive the vaccine or placebo on a separate study visit. Each study visit will be at least 7 days apart to allow for a sufficient wash-out period.
