• Currently enrolled in an investigational protocol or has participated in any clinical trial using an investigational product within the last month.
• Current or planned participation in a blood donation resulting in a blood volume of > 450 mL per 8 week period.
• Vaccination with any attenuated live-vaccine (e.g., varicella-zoster vaccine) within 60 days prior to test-vaccine administration.
• Vaccination with any inactivated vaccine (e.g., polio or hepatitis A vaccine) within 30 days prior to test-vaccine administration.
• Oral temperature >100.0°F at the time of scheduled test-vaccine administration.
• The volunteer has a clinically significant abnormality on the ECG.
• The volunteer has a body mass index >= 40 kg/m2 or is greater than or equal to 100 lbs over the ideal body weight.
• Personal or family history of multiple sclerosis, as immune system stimulation may exacerbate this disorder.
• Signs or symptoms of illness at the time of scheduled test-vaccine administration, which are considered clinically relevant by the Principal Investigator (PI, Study Doctor).
• WCBP with current or planned pregnancy within 30 days before scheduled test-vaccine administration and/or during the study (i.e., Day 0 through Day 180). Female volunteer (WCBP) is pregnant, breastfeeding, tests positive on a pregnancy test any time before vaccination, or is unwilling to use an acceptable method of contraception (i.e., hormonal contraception (injectable or oral) or intrauterine device) or abstinence within 30 days before and during the 180 days of the study.
• Positive HIV, HBsAg or HCV serology.
• The volunteer has a positive result on a urine drug screen that tests for common substances of abuse such as amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, opiates, and cannabinoids. (If positive on screen, confirmatory testing shall be performed where applicable).

• The volunteer is considered, for any reason, by the Investigator to be an unsuitable candidate for receipt of an investigational treatment. The specific reason for exclusion under this element must be completely documented in the screening case report form.
• The volunteer is unwilling to comply with all aspects of the protocol through the post vaccination Day 180 (±7 days) assessment, or the volunteer’s medical or psychiatric condition or occupational responsibilities preclude compliance with the protocol-specified procedures.
• The volunteer has screening laboratory values for total WBC, Hemoglobin, platelets, LFT (AST, ALT, ALP, Bilirubin) that are not within normal range and/or a positive urine test for proteinuria.
