  • Must have a negative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV antibodies \[by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and confirmed if positive by Western blot analysis \[WBA\]) prior to randomization);
  • Must be seronegative for parvovirus B-19 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay \[ELISA\] prior to randomization.

Exclusion

  • Acute febrile illness (greater than or equal to 37.8 degrees Celcius/100 degrees Fahrenheit) within the 72 hours preceding the vaccination (vaccine may be deferred until resolved);
  • Known exposure to persons with parvovirus B-19 (egg, fifth disease) within 6 weeks prior to randomization;
  • Illness associated with parvovirus B-19 infection within 6 weeks prior to randomization;
  • History of severe adverse reaction or allergy to any vaccine;
  • Known or suspected allergies to vaccine constituents (egg, MF59);
  • History of treatment with immunosuppressive drugs in the 30 days prior to enrollment (inhaled or topical corticosteroids are permitted) or for 28 days following last dose of vaccine;
  • Treatment with blood or blood products within 3 months prior to enrollment or throughout the duration of the study;
  • History of polyarthritis;
  • A history or clinical manifestation of significant immunodeficiency, metabolic, pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, hematologic (including hereditary and hemolytic anemias), or gastrointestinal disorders;
  • Clinically significant abnormal laboratory values at Screening including the following:
  • Hgb \<11.5 g/dL (females) or 12.5 g/dL (males); white blood cell (WBC) \<4000/microliters; platelet count \<135000/microliters;
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or creatinine above the upper limits of normal.
  • Any acute or chronic condition (including alcohol or drug abuse) that in the principal investigator's (PIs) opinion would limit the volunteer's ability to complete the study;
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding;
  • Receipt or planned receipt of any investigational drug, vaccine (exclusive of the vaccine under study), device or intervention within 30 days prior to randomization or through the 6 months following the last dose of study vaccine;
  • Receipt of any licensed killed vaccine within 2 weeks before or after any dose of study vaccine;
  • Receipt of any licensed, live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before or after any dose of study vaccine;
  • Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigators, would place the subject at an unacceptable risk for participation in the study.
