[2] History of severe adverse reaction associated with a vaccine.
[3] Allergic to egg proteins (eggs or egg products) and chicken proteins.
[4] History of Guillain-Barre syndrome.

[10] Immunocompromised person who has known or suspected immunodeficiency or who receives treatment with immunosuppressive therapy including cytotoxic agents or systemic corticosteroids, eg, for cancer, HIV, or autoimmune disease. If systemic corticosteroids have been administered short term for treatment of an acute illness, subjects should be excluded from the study until corticosteroid therapy has been discontinued for at least 30 days.
[11] Serious chronic disorder including metastatic malignancy, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease requiring supplemental oxygen, end-stage renal disease with or without dialysis, clinically unstable cardiac disease, or any other disorder that in the investigator’s opinion precludes the subject from participating in the study.
[12] Poor or missing eyesight, requiring third-party support to read.
[13] Receipt of any blood products, including immunoglobulin, within 6 months before test article administration or anticipated receipt before study completion.
[14] In the opinion of the investigator, unable to receive a vaccination in the deltoid muscle of either arm due to insufficient muscle mass or unable to grade limitation of arm movement that would interfere with the evaluation of the study objectives.
[15] Currently on anticoagulant therapy or have a history of bleeding diathesis that would contraindicate intramuscular (IM) injection.
