This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the benefits and harms of aluminium adjuvants used in a vaccine or an excipient versus the same vaccine or excipient, but having a different type of aluminium adjuvant formulation, or a different concentration, or with a different particle size.

... Achieving satisfactory immunological defense against HBV infection recently requires multiple immunization programs (MIP) with recombinant HBV surface antigen (rHBsAg) adjuvanted with Alums [8]. Generally, the vaccines shot are administered in prime and boost doses within 6 months [9]. Though, with the MIP alternatives, some success in combating HBV infection has been achieved. ...
... Adjuvants are chemical or biological compounds that stimulate the immune system against the administered antigen, thus, increasing the effectiveness of the vaccine [75]. Among the most common adjuvants, aluminum (Alum)-based compounds, such as amorphous Alum hydroxy-phosphate sulphate (AAHS), Alum hydroxide, Alum phosphate, and potassium Alum sulphate, are the most used in conventional human vaccines [76]. Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) are also adjuvants; they contain unmethylated CpG motifs and can trigger cells expressing TLR9 inducing a Th1 response and proinflammatory cytokines. ...
