Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Written informed consent obtained from the participant (dated and signed).
- Healthy condition as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.
- A male or female aged 18 to 65 years, inclusive, at the time of informed consent.
- Body mass index (BMI) ≤35.0 kg/m\^2 at Screening visit.
- Have adequate venous access for phlebotomies.

Every female participant is considered to be a WOCBP unless surgically sterile (bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy or hysterectomy) OR postmenopausal (defined as \>12 consecutive months without menses and screening follicle-stimulating hormone \>30 mIU/mL). Women who are not of childbearing potential are allowed to enroll if they are surgically sterile or postmenopausal as defined above.
Exclusion
- Use of any investigational or nonregistered product (drug, vaccine, device, or combination product) within 30 days preceding the dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study through Month 13.
- Positive test result on urine drug screen, any evidence of ongoing drug abuse or dependence (including alcohol), or recent history (over the past five years) of treatment for alcohol or drug abuse.
- Chronic administration (defined as \>14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs (includes oral or parenteral corticosteroids, for example, a glucocorticoid dose exceeding 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) within six months prior to the vaccine dose; inhalation use (for example, for seasonal allergies) is permitted.
- Planned administration of any commercially-available vaccine from seven days prior to the first study vaccination through two weeks after the last vaccination.
- Previous anaphylactic reaction, severe systemic response, or serious hypersensitivity to a prior immunization or a known allergy to synthetic Oligodeoxynucleotides, aluminum, formaldehyde, benzethonium chloride (phemerol), or latex.
- History of anthrax disease, suspected exposure to anthrax, or previous vaccination with any anthrax vaccine.
- Have a tattoo/scar/birthmark or any other skin condition affecting the deltoid area that may interfere with injection site assessments.
- A positive blood test for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) HIV-1 or HIV-2 antibodies.
- Any confirmed or suspected immunodeficiency condition (congenital or secondary) or autoimmune disease based on medical history and Physical Exam, for example, Guillain-Barré.
- A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
- Major congenital defects or serious chronic illness, including any cancer other than the following: a) any non-metastatic cancer (excluding hematologic malignancies) or melanoma of which the participant has been disease-free for at least five years and b) localized skin cancer, resected (including squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas).
- Acute disease at the time of enrollment. Note that screening lab tests may be delayed to allow the resolution of a transient acute condition or the subject may be rescreened.
- Any medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could adversely impact the participant's participation or the conduct of the study.
- Any planned elective surgery during the study through 12 months after the last vaccination.
- Planned receipt of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the three months preceding study enrollment or at any point during the study period until after the final safety phone contact.
- Woman of childbearing potential refusing to practice an adequate method of contraception from at least one month before Day 1 and continuing through Month 13.
- An adequate method of contraception is defined as abstinence from sexual intercourse; prior bilateral tubal ligation; monogamous relationship with a vasectomized partner (vasectomy performed at least six months prior to the participant's screening visit); or any of these forms of birth control: pill, intrauterine device (IUD), implantable or injectable contraceptive (for example, Norplant® or Depo-Provera®), removable device (for example, NuvaRing® or Evra® patch), or double-barrier method (condom with spermicide, diaphragm with spermicide). The Principal Investigator and/or designee will discuss with the participant the need to use adequate contraception consistently and correctly and document such conversation in the participant's chart.
