This is an observational study with primary data collection, which will combine a prospective safety cohort study and an SCRI study.
This prospective safety cohort study will be conducted in selected Brazilian municipalities participating in a pilot vaccination strategy. A total of 5,000 participants will be recruited. The primary objective is to estimate the incidence rates of a predefined set of AEs which constitute safety concerns. The secondary objectives are to measure the relative risk associated with VLA1553 administration for a predefined set of AEs which constitute safety concerns, and to assess the frequency of occurrence of any collected AE which are medically attended or meet the criteria of seriousness This study also aims to investigate VLA1553's safety in underrepresented populations by collecting all AEs, not just AEs which constitute safety concerns.

To estimate the incidence rates of a predefined set of AEs which constitute safety concerns according to the VLA1553 Risk Management Plan following the administration of the live-attenuated VLA1553 vaccine
For each safety concern, the risk windows after VLA1553 administration are defined as: 1. 30 days for Chikungunya-like adverse reactions; 2. 60 days for cardiac events, choosing a more conservative window than the 42 days suggested by the Brighton Collaboration recommendations on myocarditis; 3. 60 days for arthritis to account for late-onset or potentially immune-mediated cases
Time frame: From enrollment until Day 60
To measure the relative risk associated with VLA1553 administration for a predefined set of AEs which constitute safety concerns as per the VLA1553 Risk Management Plan for those AEs that have a defined risk window following vaccination.
Time frame: From enrollment until Day 120
To assess the frequency of occurrence of predefined AEs which are medically attended or meet the criteria of seriousness.
1. Frequency of occurrence of predefined chronic chikungunya-like adverse reactions; 2. frequency of predefined SAEs; 3. frequency of occurrence of arthralgia; 4. frequency of occurrence of prolonged arthralgia; 5. frequency of predefined CHIKV infection symptoms; 6. frequency of occurrence of predefined chronic CHIKV infection symptoms
Time frame: From enrollment until Month 6
