- Has a history of chronic sinus infections
- Has a history of or currently smokes or vapes

- Use of aspirin- or salicylate-containing products in the 30 days prior to or intends to use these products in the 30 days following administration of the investigational vaccine
- Has a history of documented influenza or receipt of influenza antiviral treatment in the 4 months prior to the first vaccination
- Receipt of any antiviral drug within the week prior to or following the investigational vaccine.
- Receipt of a licensed live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first study vaccination or plans to receive a licensed live vaccine within the 30 days after the last study vaccination.
- Receipt of licensed inactivated non-influenza vaccine within 14 days prior to the first study vaccination, or plans to receive licensed, inactivated vaccine within the 30 days after the last study vaccination. ** Participants will be asked to avoid receipt of any routine licensed vaccines or vaccines under emergency use authorization during the periods described.
- Receipt of an influenza vaccine within the 4 months prior to the first study vaccination or plans to receive an influenza vaccine following the last study vaccination. Seasonal IIV4 will be received by participants as part of this trial.
- Receipt of immunoglobulin or other blood products within the 6 months prior to the first study vaccination or plans to receive during the period of study participation.
Receipt of an experimental* agent or device within the 6 months prior to the first study vaccination or expects to receive an experimental agent or device during the study period.
*Products for treatment or prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), when received under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) or full FDA approval and not as part of a clinical trial, will not be deemed "experimental" for the purposes of this criterion and will not make an otherwise eligible prospective participant ineligible.
- Is a family member of study personnel or personnel directly involved in the conduct or monitoring of the study.
Receipt of an approved or experimental product for treatment or prevention of COVID-19 within the 10 days prior to study enrollment.
- Participants may enroll if greater than 10 days after receipt of the COVID-19 treatment or prevention.
- Participants who are receiving COVID-19 vaccines around the time of dosing of the investigational product will be asked to avoid COVID-19 vaccination within the 10 days before any vaccination in the study and within any reactogenicity period (the day of and 7 days following each intranasal vaccination).

Cohort 7
A cohort of influenza non-naïve 45 healthy children, 9-17 years old, will receive a single dose of 10^9 TCID50 of intranasal Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 vaccine (N=30) or placebo (N=15) at Day 1. N=45.
A cohort of influenza non-naïve 45 healthy children, 2-8 years old, will receive a single dose of 10^8 TCID50 of intranasal Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 vaccine (N=30) or placebo (N=15) at Day 1 intranasally. N= 45
Once, there is sufficient evidence of safety and tolerability in Cohorts 1 and 2,and enrollment has completed of all 45 in each of these cohorts. Cohort 3 will begin enrollment. A cohort of influenza non-naïve 25 healthy children, 2-8 years old, will receive a single dose of 10^9 TCID50 of intranasal Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 vaccine (N=15) or placebo (N=10) at Day 1. N=25.
Once, there is sufficient evidence of safety and tolerability in Cohort 3 and enrollment has been completed for this cohort, and fifth cohorts (Cohorts 4 and 5) will begin enrollment. A cohort of influenza non-naïve 25 healthy children, 2-8 years old, will receive two doses of the 10^9 TCID50 of intranasal Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 vaccine (N=15) or two doses of placebo (N=10) at Day 1 and Day 29. N=25
Participants in Cohort 4, will enroll concurrently. A cohort of influenza-naïve healthy children, 6-23 months old, will be randomized to receive two doses of 10^7 TCID50 of intranasal Sing2016 M2SR vaccine (N=6) or two doses of placebo (N=2) at Day 1 and Day 29. N=8.
Once, there is sufficient evidence of safety in Cohort 5, Cohort 6 will begin enrollment. A cohort of influenza-naïve healthy children, 6-23 months old, where a lead-in group (N=20) will be randomly assigned to receive either two doses of 10^8 TCID50 of intranasal Sing2016 M2SR vaccine (N=6) or two doses of placebo (N=2) at Day 1 and Day 29. N=20. Once lead-in group completes Day 8, the SRC will review the safety and determine if Cohort 7 may begin enrollment. Additional group of children may continue to enroll during the SRC review, which will be assigned randomly to receive two doses of 10^8 TCID50 of intranasal Sing2016 M2SR (N=12) or two doses of placebo (N=6) at Day 1 and Day 29. N= 26
Once, there is sufficient evidence of safety in Cohort 6, Cohort 7 will begin enrollment. A cohort of influenza-naïve healthy children, 6-23 months old, will be randomly assigned to receive two doses of 10^9 TCID50 dose of intranasal Sing2016 M2SR vaccine (N=18) or two doses of placebo (N=8) at Day 1 and Day 29.
