Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of Participants with Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs) at 7 Days Post-vaccination 1 [7 Days after vaccination 1 on Day 1 (Day 8)]
Number of participants with solicited local AEs at 7 days post-vaccination 1 will be reported. An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Solicited local AEs are pre-defined local (at the injection site) AEs for which participants will be specifically questioned and which will be noted by participants in diary for 7 days post vaccination (day of vaccination and the subsequent 7 days). Solicited local AEs are injection site pain/tenderness, erythema, and swelling at the vaccination site.

Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Must be healthy as confirmed by medical history, physical examination, vital signs, and clinical laboratory tests performed at screening
-
Contraceptive (birth control) use by female participants should be consistent with local regulations regarding the acceptable methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. Before randomization, participants who were born female must be either: a) not of childbearing potential; b) of childbearing potential and practicing a highly effective method of contraception and agreeing to remain on such a method of contraception from signing the informed consent until 3 months after the last dose of study vaccine. Use of hormonal contraception should start at least 28 days before the first administration of study vaccine. Highly effective methods for this study include: hormonal contraception, intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone-releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion/ligation procedures, vasectomized partner (the vasectomized partner should be the sole partner for that participant), and sexual abstinence
-
All female participants of childbearing potential must: a) have a negative highly sensitive serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) pregnancy test at screening; b) have a negative urine beta-hCG pregnancy test immediately prior to each study vaccine administration

If the results of the laboratory screening tests are outside the laboratory normal reference ranges and additionally within the limits of toxicity Grade 2 according to the US FDA toxicity scale the participant may be included only if the investigator judges the abnormalities or deviations from normal to be not clinically significant and appropriate and reasonable for the population under study.

Received treatment with immunoglobulins (including monoclonal antibodies) expected to impact the vaccine-induced immune response in the 2 months or blood products in the 3 months before the planned administration of the first dose of study vaccine or has any plans to receive such treatment during the study.

-
Pregnant, or breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant while enrolled in this study or within 3 months after the last dose of study vaccine. Oocyte donation is prohibited while enrolled in this study
-
Received or plans to receive: licensed live attenuated vaccines - within 28 days before or after planned administration of the first or subsequent study vaccination[s]; other licensed (not live) vaccines (not including seasonal influenza vaccines) - within 14 days before or after planned administration of the first or subsequent study vaccination[s]; seasonal influenza vaccines - within 4 months before planned administration of the first study vaccination until the end of the study (that is, any individual who requires a seasonal influenza vaccination for occupational or other reasons will be excluded)
