- Known systemic hypersensitivity to any of the vaccine components, or history of a life-threatening reaction to the vaccine(s) used in the trial or to a vaccine containing any of the same substances.
- Laboratory-confirmed/self-reported thrombocytopenia, contraindicating intramuscular vaccination.
- Bleeding disorder or receipt of anticoagulants in the 3 weeks preceding inclusion, contraindicating intramuscular vaccination.
- Chronic illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, is at a stage where it might interfere with trial conduct or completion.
- Moderate or severe acute illness/infection (according to investigator judgment) on the day of vaccination or febrile illness (temperature ≥ 38.0 C). A prospective participant should not be included in the study until the condition has resolved or the febrile event has subsided.
- Identified as an Investigator or employee of the Investigator or study center with direct involvement in the proposed study, or identified as an immediate family member (ie, parent, spouse, natural or adopted child) of the Investigator or employee with direct involvement in the proposed study.
