Individuals who during the 90 days prior to enrollment receive any medications or other treatments that may adversely affect the immune system such as allergy injections, immune globulin, interferon, immunomodulators, cytotoxic drugs or other drugs known to be frequently associated with significant major organ toxicity.
• •10. Individuals who receive systemic immunosuppressive agents including steroids. Prior corticosteroid therapy should be discontinued 28 days prior to enrollment. Individuals using inhaled or topical corticosteroids will be permitted.
• •11. Receipt or donation of blood or blood products 8 weeks prior to vaccination or planned receipt or donation during the study period.
• •12. Individuals participating in any clinical trial with another investigational product 28 days prior to receiving the first study vaccination or intent to participate in another clinical study at any time during the conduct of this study.
• •13. Individuals who have received any vaccine 28 days prior to enrollment in this study, or who plan to receive any non-study vaccines within 28 days of the second dose of study vaccine.
• •14. Individuals with any clinically significant abnormal safety laboratory result, as judged by the investigator.
• •15. If female, 'of childbearing potential', sexually active and has not used any of the 'acceptable contraceptive methods' for at least two months prior to study entry.
• •Childbearing potential is defined as status post onset of menarche and not meeting any of the following conditions: menopausal for at least two years; sterile status after bilateral tubal ligation for at least one year, immediately after bilateral oophorectomy or after hysterectomy.
• •Acceptable methods of birth control are defined as one or more of the following:
• •* Hormonal contraceptives.
• •* Barrier each and every time during intercourse.

• •* Monogamous relationship with vasectomized partner. Partner must have been vasectomized for at least six months prior to subject's study entry.
• •16. If female subject of childbearing potential and have a positive urine pregnancy test prior to study vaccinations, or are currently lactating.
• •17. If female of childbearing potential and sexually active, refusal to use an 'acceptable contraceptive method' through to three weeks after last study vaccination.
• •18. Individuals with behavioral or cognitive impairment or psychiatric disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with the subject's ability to participate in the study.
• •19. Individuals with a history of drug or alcohol abuse within the past 2 years.
