3. Receipt of any biologic agents with mechanisms of action that might affect the immune system, at the discretion of the CI and local PI
4. Administration of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within a period of six months before vaccination or at any time during the study period; participants who have received these agents may also be excluded at the discretion of the CI and local PI.
5. Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition.
6. A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
7. Any antiviral drug therapy within a period of 5 drug half-lives or 30 days before vaccination, whichever is longer,

15. Recent blood donation (inclusion can be delayed under these circumstances; the participant should be enrolled 16 weeks after their last blood donation. Each participant should give no more than 470 ml per 16 weeks, so regular blood donation should be suspended during the study and can re-commence 1 month after the last study sample).
16. Prior receipt of a vaccinia based vaccine at any time
17. Administration of immunoglobulins or other blood products containing immunoglobulin within the three months preceding the planned administration of vaccine
