This is a Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled vaccination and challenge study to assess the protective efficacy of the Vaxart Norovirus vaccine (VXA-G1.1-NN). Healthy adults will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive one oral dose of vaccine or placebo. * Arm 1: VXA-G1.1-NN oral vaccine tablets \[1x1011 IU±0.5 log\] * Arm 2: Placebo tablets similar in appearance and number to active vaccine tablets Approximately 28 days post-vaccination, subjects will be admitted to an isolation ward and challenged with the NV GI.1 Norwalk challenge strain. After challenge, subjects will be monitored for signs and symptoms of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) from Day 29 to discharge. At 4 days post challenge (Day 33) asymptomatic subjects will be discharged from the isolation ward and will be followed in a series of outpatient visits and telephone calls. Symptomatic subjects may be kept in the isolation ward for up to an additional 3 days.
