9. Reports the use of any immunosuppressive drugs, including systemic corticosteroids, within 4 weeks prior to dosing.
10. Reports the use of any medications or treatments that may alter immune responses to the study vaccine within 3 weeks prior to dosing (e.g., cyclosporine, tacrolimus, cytotoxic drugs, immune globulin, Bacillus Calmette-Guerin [BCG], monoclonal antibodies, radiation therapy).
