• Serious chronic medical disorders and any other disorder that in the investigator's opinion precludes the subject from participating in the study
• Donation of blood volume of 250 mL or greater (excluding protocol-required blood collection), or donation of plasma within 3 months prior to enrollment.
• Bleeding condition associated with prolonged bleeding time that may contraindicate intramuscular injection or blood draw including subjects taking anticoagulant, antiplatelet and/or antithrombotic agents except for low-dose daily aspirin within 30 days before enrollment through 1 month post-vaccination.
• Any contraindication to vaccination or vaccine components.
• Immunocompromised persons and subjects currently on immunosuppressive therapy or with a history of immunosuppressive therapy, including chemotherapy agents or long term systemic corticosteroids.
