• Participant agrees not to donate blood, blood products and bone marrow at least 3 months before and after vaccination.
• Female participant of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test on the on Day 0 prior to vaccination.

• Having problematic or risk use of substances including alcohol that can compromise the study follow-up.

• Participation in any research involving an investigational product (drug, biologic, device) within 12 weeks prior to vaccination and during the study.
• Participant has donated ≥ 450ml of blood products within 12 weeks before screening.
• Participant has any medical condition and/or finding that in the investigator opinion might increase participant risks, interfere with the study or impair interpretation of study data.
