Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 consecutively-prescribed days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modulating therapy within six months prior to study enrollment (for corticosteroids, this means prednisone or equivalent, 0.5 mg per kg per day; topical steroids are allowed, exclusive of nasal.)

History of bronchial asthma.
Hypersensitivity and allergy reactions after previous administration of any vaccine.

Suspected or known hypersensitivity to any of the study vaccine components, including chicken or egg protein.
Seasonal (autumnal) hypersensitivity to the natural environment.
Acute or chronic clinically significant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic, metabolic, neurologic, psychiatric or renal functional abnormality, as determined by medical history, physical examination or clinical laboratory screening tests, which in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with the study objectives. Subjects with physical examination findings or clinical laboratory screening results which would be graded 2 or higher on the AE severity grading scale will be excluded from entry into the study and will be excluded from receipt of dose two of study vaccine or placebo.
