  • Past (stopped less than 6 months before enrolment) or current use of recreational drugs, which could interfere with the adherence to the protocol procedures
  • Chronic or prolonged treatment (>10 consecutive days) that can affect immune response, such as systemic (≥ 20 mg/day prednisone or equivalent or dexamethasone >4 mg/day), high dose inhaled corticosteroids (>800 μg/day beclomethasone or equivalent; occasional inhaled, topical or localized injections [intra-articular or intra-bursal] of corticosteroids for asthma therapy are allowed), or immunomodulators/suppressors (certain monoclonal antibodies can be approved on a case by case basis) within 28 days before study entry or during the whole study duration
  • Chronic or prolonged (>10 days) use of systemic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, acetylsalicylic acid, or paracetamol within 7 days before study entry and up to 28 days post-vaccination
  • History of severe allergic reactions and/or anaphylaxis, or serious adverse reactions to vaccines or allergy to kanamycin or any other component of the OVX836 vaccine
  • Current or past history of progressive or severe uncontrolled neurological disorder, or current or past history of seizure disorder or Guillain-Barré syndrome
  • Females planning to become pregnant or planning to discontinue contraceptive precautions until the end of the trial
  • Any contraindication to intramuscular administration, as judged by the Investigator
  • Presence of extended tattoos on both deltoid muscles
  • Individuals with a history of any illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might interfere with the results of the study, or pose additional risk to the subjects due to participation in the study, either directly or through any treatments administered for that illness
  • Any known or suspected immunodeficient conditions
  • Sponsor employees or Investigator site personnel directly affiliated with this study and their immediate families. Immediate family is defined as a spouse (or assimilated), parent, child, or sibling, whether biological or legally adopted
