* If the subject is female and of childbearing potential, she agrees to use acceptable contraception, and not become pregnant for 28 days following the last vaccination:
1. A woman is considered of childbearing potential unless post-menopausal (greater than or equal to 1 year) or surgically sterilized (tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or hysterectomy).
2. Acceptable contraception methods are restricted to effective devices \[intrauterine devices (IUD)s, NuvaRing®\] or licensed hormonal products with use of method for a minimum of 30 days prior to vaccination, abstinence from sexual intercourse with men (vaginal penetration by a penis, coitus), and monogamous relationship with a vasectomized partner.

* Negative urine glucose and urine protein \<1 plus by dipstick or urinalysis.
* Adequate renal function is defined as a serum creatinine not exceeding the institution's upper limit of normal.
* Electrocardiogram (ECG) in absence of clinical significance (e.g., complete left or right bundle branch block, incomplete left bundle branch block or sustained ventricular arrhythmia, or 2 premature ventricular contraction's (PVC)'s in a row, or sympathetic tonus (ST) elevation consistent with ischemia).
