- History of immunodeficiency (including HIV infection)
- For children or adolescents through 17 years of age,receiving aspirin therapy or aspirin-containing products [If yes, not eligible for LAIV Groups A, B, C, and F].
- Known or suspected impairment of immunologic function, including, but not limited to, clinically significant liver disease, diabetes mellitus treated with insulin, moderate to severe renal disease, or any other chronic disorder which, in the opinion of the investigator, might jeopardize volunteer safety or compliance with the protocol.
- Blood pressure >150 systolic or >95 diastolic at first study visit and the day of vaccination (for children 12 yrs and older, and adults).
- Hospitalization in the past year for congestive heart failure or emphysema.

- Malignancy, other than squamous cell or basal cell skin cancer (includes solid tumors such as breast cancer or prostate cancer with recurrence in the past year, and any hematologic cancer such as leukemia).
- Autoimmune disease (including rheumatoid arthritis treated with immunosuppressive medication such as Plaquenil, methotrexate, prednisone, Enbrel) which, in the opinion of the investigator, might jeopardize volunteer safety or compliance with the protocol
- History of blood dyscrasias, renal disease, or hemoglobinopathies requiring regular medical follow up or hospitalization during the preceding year
- Use of any anti-coagulation medication such as Coumadin or Lovenox, or anti-platelet agents such as aspirin (except up to 325 mg. per day), Plavix, or Aggrenox must be reviewed by investigator to determine if this would affect the volunteer's safety.

- Receipt of blood or blood products within the past 6 months or planned used during the study
- Medical or psychiatric condition or occupational responsibilities that preclude participant compliance with the protocol.
