   cancer.

   9. 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.

10. History of blood dyscrasias, or hemoglobinopathies requiring regular medical follow up
   or hospitalization during the preceding year

11. Use of any anti-coagulation medication such as Coumadin or Lovenox, or anti-platelet
   agents such as aspirin.

12. Receipt of blood or blood products within the past 6 months or planned receipt of
   blood products prior to completion of study visits.

13. Medical or psychiatric condition or occupational responsibilities that preclude
   participant compliance with the protocol

14. Receipt of inactivated vaccine 14 days prior to enrollment, or planned non-study
   vaccination prior to completion of Visit 03 or 04 (~Day 28 after the last study
   vaccination)

15. Receipt of a live, attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to first vaccination, or
   planned immunization with a live, attenuated vaccine before completion of study visits
   (inform study staff of any non-study vaccinations received during the study period).

16. Need for allergy immunization (that cannot be postponed) during the study period.

17. History of Guillain-Barre Syndrome

18. Use of investigational agents within 30 days prior to enrollment or planned use of
   investigational agents prior to completion of study visits.

19. Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with
