• Is in good health, as determined by vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, armpit temperature), blood chemistry test (electrolytes, renal/kidney function, liver function, C-reactive protein, complete blood count), medical history, general physical examination, self-reported illness and clinical judgment of the investigator;
• Able to understand and comply with planned study procedures;
• Provides signed informed consent form after receiving a detailed explanation of the study protocol prior to any study procedures.

• Has a history of severe reactions following immunization.
• Persons with immune deficiency/disorder, whether due to genetic defect, immunodeficiency disease, or immunosuppressive therapy.
• Has a positive urine pregnancy test prior to vaccination or women who are breastfeeding.

• Has a history of any of the following (reported by subjects):

  • Transplant recipients;
  • Unstable or progressive neurological disorders.

• Receipt of medicines/treatments that may affect evaluation of immunogenicity such as:

  • Oral or parenteral steroids, high-dose inhaled steroids (greater than 800 micrograms/day of beclomethasone dipropionate or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive or cytotoxic drugs;
  • Immunoglobulin or other blood products (within the 3 months prior to vaccination in this study);
  • Experimental agent (vaccine, drug, biologic, device, blood product, or medication) within 1 month prior to vaccination in this study, or expects to receive an experimental agent (during the study period).
  • Influenza antiviral medication (within the 4 weeks prior to vaccination in this study).
• Has received any influenza vaccine within 6 months prior to vaccination in this study.
• Has influenza-like illness within 6 months prior to vaccination in this study.
• Has an acute illness, including an armpit temperature greater than 38 degrees Celsius (oC), within 1 week of vaccination.
• Has a history of alcohol or drug abuse.
• Any abnormal haematology values and/or serum chemistries judged by the Investigator as clinically significant.
• Ineligible subject based on the judgement of the investigator.
• In case there is uncertainty about the participant's medical status regarding any of the exclusion criteria mentioned, the participant's primary care physician will be consulted. Consultation of the primary care physician will only take place after having received written approval from the participant, and will concern medical information about exclusion criteria only.
