-
Current or history of the following medical conditions:
- Respiratory diseases
- Hypersensitivity or severe allergic reactions to vaccines or drugs

-
Reported smoking, vaping, or active drug, alcohol or substance abuse or dependence.
-
Any physical examination findings and/or history of any illness that, in the opinion of the study investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose an additional risk to the patient by their participation in the study.
