- History of monkeypox, cowpox, or vaccinia infection
- Close contact in the 3 weeks prior to signing the ICF with anyone known to have mpox
- History of malignancy other than squamous cell or basal cell skin cancer, unless there has been surgical excision at least 6 months prior to screening that is considered to have achieved cure
- Clinically significant mental disorder not adequately controlled by medical treatment
- Active or recent (within 6 months before screening) chronic alcohol abuse and/or intravenous and/or nasal drug abuse
- History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine, eg, tris(hydroxymethyl)-amino methane, including history of allergic asthma
- Known allergy to aminoglycosides or quinolones
- History of anaphylaxis or severe allergic reaction to any vaccine
- Receipt of or plans to receive any licensed live vaccine from 30 days prior to the trial vaccination until 30 days after last trial vaccination
- Receipt of or plans to receive any licensed nonlive vaccine from 14 days prior to the trial vaccination until 14 days after last trial vaccination
- Use of any investigational or nonregistered agent within 30 days prior to vaccination or plans to receive an investigational agent during the trial
- Recent blood donation (including platelets, plasma, and red blood cells) within 4 weeks prior to screening, or planned blood donations during the active trial period
- Chronic systemic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of >5 mg prednisone (or equivalent)/day or any other immune-modifying drugs from 3 months prior to the first trial vaccination to the visit at the end of the active trial period (use of topical, inhaled, ophthalmic, and nasal glucocorticoids is allowed)
- History of organ transplantation whether or not chronic immunosuppressive therapy is being administered
- Abnormal troponin I level >upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Administration or planned administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products from 3 months prior to the first trial vaccination until the visit at the end of the active trial period (packed red blood cells given for an emergency indication in an otherwise healthy person and not required as ongoing treatment is not exclusionary [eg, packed red blood cells given in an emergency during elective surgery])
- History of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, angina, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, stroke or transient ischemic attack, uncontrolled high blood pressure, significant arrhythmia with or without corrective/ablative surgery, or any other heart condition under the care of a doctor
- Employment with the investigator or trial site, with direct involvement in the proposed trial or other studies under the direction of that investigator or trial site, or relationship to the investigator or trial site employee

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Titer of Serum Neutralizing Antibodies against Vaccinia Virus 4 weeks after the first MVA-BN vaccination and 6 months after the last MVA-BN vaccination GMTs of serum neutralizing antibodies against vaccinia virus as measured by PRNT
Seroconversion in Neutralizing Antibodies 4 weeks after the first MVA-BN vaccination, 2 weeks and 6 months after the second MVA-BN vaccination Percentage of participants with seroconversion in neutralizing antibodies against vaccinia virus as determined by PRNT. Seroconversion is defined as either the appearance of antibody titer at or above the lower limit of quantitation \[LLOQ\] for participants with baseline values below the LLOQ or doubling or more of the antibody titer compared to baseline for participants with a baseline antibody titer at or above the LLOQ
Titer of Total Antibodies against Vaccinia Virus 4 weeks after the first MVA-BN vaccination, 2 weeks and 6 months after the second MVA-BN vaccination GMTs of total antibodies against vaccinia virus as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
Seroconversion in Total Antibodies against Vaccinia Virus 4 weeks after the first MVA-BN vaccination, 2 weeks and 6 months after the second MVA-BN vaccination Percentage of participants with seroconversion in total antibodies against vaccinia virus as determined by ELISA Seroconversion is defined as either the appearance of total antibody at or above the LLOQ for participants with baseline values below the LLOQ, or a 4-fold increase of total antibodies against vaccinia virus compared to pre-immunization baseline values for participants with baseline values at or above the LLOQ
