Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: mRNA-1893	Biological: mRNA-1893; Zika vaccine
Placebo Comparator: Placebo; 0.9% sodium chloride	Other: Placebo; 0.9% sodium chloride

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Frequency and grade of each solicited local and systemic reactogenicity adverse event (AE) [ Time Frame: 7-day follow-up period after each vaccination ]
2. Frequency and grade of any unsolicited AEs [ Time Frame: 28-day follow-up period after each vaccination ]
3. Frequency of any medically attended adverse event (MAAE), serious adverse event (SAE), and adverse event of special interest (AESI) [ Time Frame: Day 1 to the end of study (EOS) Visit at Month 13 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Geometric mean titer (GMT) of serum neutralizing antibodies (nAb) against zika virus (ZIKV) as measured by Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT) [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 29, Day 57, Month 7, and Month 13 ]
2. GMT of nAb in initially seronegative participants against ZIKV as measured by PRNT [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 29, Day 57, Month 7, and Month 13 ]
3. GMT of nAb in initially seropositive participants against ZIKV as measured by PRNT [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 29, Day 57, Month 7, and Month 13 ]
4. Percentage of participants who seroconverted [ Time Frame: Day 1 (baseline) to Day 29, from Day 1 to Day 57, from Day 1 to Month 7, and from Day 1 to Month 13 ]
   A seroconversion is defined as a change of PRNT from below the LOQ to a PRNT equal to or above 1:10, or a multiplication by at least 4 in subjects with pre-existing PRNT titers
5. Proportion of initially seronegative participants with a seroresponse as measured by PRNT [ Time Frame: Day 29, Day 57, Month 7, and Month 13 ]
6. Proportion of initially seropositive participants with a 2-fold or 4-fold increase in nAb titers as compared with baseline as measured by PRNT [ Time Frame: Day 29, Day 57, Month 7, and Month 13 ]
