[IM Groups] Group A: Vaccination 2 mg, three times at 2-week intervals (n = 80) Group B: Vaccination 4 mg, twice at 4-week intervals (n = 80) Group C: Vaccination 8 mg, twice at 4-week intervals(n = 80)

[ID Groups] Group D: Vaccination 1 mg, three times at 2-week intervals (n = 80) Group E: Vaccination 1 mg, twice at 4-week intervals (n = 80)

Enrollment: 422 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
