Inclusion Criteria:

• Provide written informed consent prior to initiation of any study procedures.
• Are able to understand and comply with planned study procedures and be available for all study visits.
• Are males or non-pregnant females, 19 to 64 years old, inclusive.
• Are in good health, as determined by vital signs (oral temperature, pulse, and blood pressure), medical history, and targeted physical examination based on medical history to ensure any existing medical diagnoses or conditions (except those in the Subject Exclusion Criteria) are stable . Subjects may be on chronic1 or as needed (prn) medications if, in the opinion of the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator, they pose no additional risk to subject safety or assessment of reactogenicity and immunogenicity. Note: Topical, nasal, and inhaled medications (with the exception of steroids as outlined in the Subjects Exclusion Criteria (see Section 5.2), vitamins, and contraceptives are permitted.
• Oral temperature is less than 100.4 degrees F.

• Diastolic blood pressure is 55 to 95 mmHg, inclusive.
• Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is less than 30 mm per hour.
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is less than 44 IU/L for females or is less than 61 IU/L for males.
• Creatinine is less than 1.11 mg/dL for females or is less than 1.38 mg/dL for males.
• White blood cells (WBC) are greater than 3.9 x10^3/UL and less than 10.6 x10^3/UL.
• Hemoglobin is greater than 11.4 g/dL for females or is greater than 12.4 g/dL for males.

A highly effective method of contraception is defined as one which results in a low failure rate (i.e., less than 1 percent per year) when used consistently and correctly. Method of contraception will be captured on the appropriate data collection form.

• Have an acute or chronic medical condition that, in the opinion of the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator, would render vaccination unsafe, or would interfere with the evaluation of responses.
