* At high risk for meningococcal infection during the trial.
* Known systemic hypersensitivity to latex or any of the vaccine components, or history of a severe reaction to the vaccines used in the trial or to a vaccine containing any of the same substances.

* Personal history of an Arthus-like reaction after vaccination with a tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine within at least 10 years of the proposed study vaccination.

Should a participant receive oral or injectable antibiotic therapy within 3 days prior to any blood draw, the Investigator would postpone the blood draw until it had been 3 days since the participant last received oral or injectable antibiotic therapy. Postponement must still be within the timeframe for blood draw indicated in the Table of Study Procedures, when possible.
