Agreement to refrain from blood donation during the course of the study 6. Provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participation in another research study involving receipt of an investigational product in the 30 days preceding enrolment, or planned use during the study period 2. Prior receipt of an investigational vaccine likely to impact on interpretation of the trial data (e.g. Adenovirus vectored vaccine). 3. Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the three months preceding the planned administration of the vaccine candidate 4. Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient state, including HIV infection; asplenia; recurrent, severe infections and chronic (more than 14 days) immunosuppressant medication within the past 6 months (inhaled and topical steroids are allowed) 5.

Any clinically significant abnormal finding on screening biochemistry or haematology blood tests or urinalysis 18. Any other significant disease, disorder or finding which may significantly increase the risk to the volunteer because of participation in the study, affect the ability of the volunteer to participate in the study or impair interpretation of the study data 19. Inability of the study team to contact the volunteer's GP to confirm medical history and safety to participate 20. Prior exposure to CHIKV (serology will be requested at the discretion of the investigator) 21. Travel to a CHIKV endemic region throughout the duration of the participants enrolment in the Study and within the preceding 30 days.
