• Receipt of immune globulins, blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months.
• Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy, within the preceding 6 months; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy (prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 consecutive weeks within the past 3 months).

• Moderate or severe acute illness/infection (according to Investigator judgment) or febrile illness (temperature greater than or equal to (>=) 38.0 degree Celsius) on the day of vaccination.
